I am delighted to announce that I have been granted an Arts Act Award 2022 to continue on my Brigid journey. I am working on a novel-length manuscript The B Cuts, interlinked fictionalised stories of Brigid from the 5th Century to the 23rd Century.
I am looking forward to diving into further research with the Brigidine archives, the archives of the National Library of Ireland and travelling around Ireland to sites associated with Brigid. And, of course, I am dying to get stuck into more writing!
I am most grateful to Kildare County Council for continuing to support my writing practice.
