BLOGS and MESSAGE BOARDS:
FAVORITE PASTIMES--HISTORICAL FICTION
CELTIC SPIRITUALITY MESSAGE BOARD
MUSIC:
ON AIR-MIDWEST INTERNET RADIO Listen to the broadcast from Ireland live!
Brigid's Cross An awesome band with an awesome name!
John Doan's harp guitar music is legendary!
You can't beat the music at Irish festivals. Here are some that I've either appeared at or will this year:
Milwaukee Irish Fest (the largest in the world!)
CHERISH THE LADIES is one of my most favorite Irish groups. And not just for the music. The band leader is a hoot! http://www.cherishtheladies.com/
JEFF JOHNSON is a very talented Christian musican. Don't be fooled by his Celtic music being referred to as "New Age." http://www.arkmusic.com/NewFiles/writings.html
Irish-American Newspapers
SHOPPING:
Aran Sweaters I'm lucky enough to own one of these!
Handmade jewelry You may have to track Sean down at an Irish festival, but his craftmanship is worth it!
Postcards If you've seen my postcards and wondered where I got them, now you know! These are fully customized. Have fun!
Ha'penny Bridge Imports My favorite local shop!
Authors with Irish themed books:
Juilene Osborne-McKnight retells Irish myths and legends.
Stephen Lawhead Not all of his books have an Irish theme, but they are Celtic. One of his books, Patrick Son of Ireland might interest readers of my book.
Patti Lacy Patti's book, An Irish Woman's Tale, is a future release. Check her Web site for details.
Liffey Rivers, Irish Dancer-Girl Detective Mysteries. Brenna Brigg's popular series for kids. Read an excerpt on her website.
Erin' Hart's Crime Series. I haven't read them, but I heard her speak at a Celtic festival and learned a lot about Irish bogs!
These are just a few. I'll add more in the future.
