about the author
Novelist MORGAN LLYWELYN was born in New York City of Irish and Welsh ancestry. Shortlisted in 1976 for the United States Olympic Team in Dressage, she then turned her energies to exploring her family history in Ireland and Wales. Her first novel, The Wind from Hastings, was a selection of the Doubleday Book Club. With her second novel, Lion of Ireland: The Legend of Brian Boru, Llywelyn made the New York Times bestseller list and captured an international audience she has enjoyed ever since. After the death of her husband, Charles, in 1985, she moved to Ireland, the source of her inspiration. An Irish citizen, she lives in the countryside north of Dublin.
Since 1978, Llywelyn has created a substantial body of work chronicling Ireland and the Celts. Although her novels primarily are mainstream historical fiction, many of them include a depiction of the druidic culture that was central to Celtic and early Irish society. Druids, originally published in 1991, won her many new readers for its combination of meticulous historical research with breathtaking magic.
Llywelyn has won numerous literary awards. She was named Exceptional Celtic Woman of the Year; is a founding member of the Irish Writers’ Centre and past chairman of the Irish Writers’ Union; a director of the Irish Copyright Licensing Agency; and has served as a member of the judging panel for the highly prestigious International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
