The Story Behind This Book
It started as a short story about a witch living alone in Ireland. For my 30th birthday, my husband gave me the gift of travel. I visited London alone and met up with friends one night for dinner at their parent's house. The dad is an old Irish guy; so smart and clever. He and the sons started going back and forth about my name, Dayna. He then told me stories of the Tuatha De Danaan and how I am named after the mother Goddess, Danu. It stuck with me and the short story about the Irish witch blossomed into 800,000 words. My husband urged me to turn it into a book, and so I did. At least seven books are written. The first of them is Tuatha and the Seven Sisters Moon and how their story is reborn in the new modern world.
