Ceallaigh's Blog
I am a Druid member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids who prepared the attached gwers as a gift to the Order upon completion of the Ovate grade. If you are a member of the Order in the Ovate Grade or higher, you can request the password to this document by sending me an e-mail that contains the first sentence of the first paragraph on the first white page of your first Ovate gwers.
Yours in the Grove,
Ceallaigh
I've been interviewed by Rebecca Buchanan for Eternal Haunted Summer! Check it out here.
Rebecca Buchanan of Eternal Haunted Summer was kind enough to interview me for the Winter Solstice 2010 edition of the journal. That interview is available online now.
This marks the end of my publication year, which was again somewhat sparse, not because I'm not selling anything, but because I'm not writing anything short. The novel is close to completion, however, and my hope is that next year, I'll be able to list that sale at year's end. In the meantime, here's what I published in 2010:
Articles
"The Motif of Sovereignty in Irish Poetry." Aontacht 3.2. September 2010.
As a result of an internal error in moving my e-mail account from one web host to another on November 13th, I temporarily lost the ability to receive mail on the csm (at) csmaccath (dot) com account. If you tried to send e-mail to me on that account between November 13th and November 17th, I did not receive it and ask that you please re-send it. Thank you.
I'll be singing with An Cliath Clis on Thursday, November 25th at Citadel High's 4th Annual Céilidh in Halifax.
