More About the Author

At last count, popular Inspirational author Loree Lough had 82 award-winning books (more than 3,000,000 copies in circulation), 67 short stories, and 2,500+ articles in print.

The oft-invited guest of writers' organizations, colleges and universities, corporate and government agencies in the U.S. and abroad, she loves sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft and the industry. Loree has traveled coast to coast and border to border, appearing on national, regional, and local TV and radio shows.

Although this once-upon-a-time traveling troubadour refuses to say when, exactly, she traded her Yamaha for a wedding ring, she IS willing to admit that, every now and then, she blows the dust off her six-string to croon a tune or two. But mostly, she just writes (and writes).

Loree and her husband split their time between a home in the Baltimore suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, where she continues to perfect her taleant for identifying critter tracks. Her favorite pass time? Spending long, leisurely hours with her grandchildren... all seven of them!

She loves hearing from her readers, and answers every letter, personally. You can write her @ http://www.loreelough.com, where "If you're patient, you'll hear some hauntingly beautiful music!"

This review is from: Emeralds and Gold: A Treasury of Irish Short Stories (Paperback)

This collection gives the reader a real taste of Ireland, from authentic folklore to tales of the contemporary Irish. I especially enjoyed the stories by Loree Lough, Mike Sackett, Lisa Kamps and Shannon Katona. Pick up this book when you only have time for a short read. . . any story you choose will be entertaining.
