Blog postLately, it seems my Facebook and Twitter feeds have been chock full of inspirational sayings, and many of them do exactly that they’re supposed to. But I have questions. For example:
Mistakes are proof that you are trying. But Yoda said, “Do or do not…there is no try.” And he’s the smartest Jedi master and puppet I know. And Steven Wright said, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.”
Note to self: cancel skydiving lesson -
Blog postDia daoibh, peeps!
It is Irish (language) Week, which actually runs from March 1-17th, so I’d thought I’d share a bit about my journey into Ireland’s culture, history and language. And, I’ve made my Kilts series FREE until Saturday. More on that later.
I’ve been taking classes from CKonLine @ CKonLineteaching.com. It’s the company founded by Irish musician Colm Keegan, of Celtic Thunder, and the classes are taught by him.
I started by taking music theory, whi -
Blog postWhen my daughter was five, we began a tradition that continues to this day. She called them “The Martin Family Traveler Trips.” As a single mom who was blessed to have the same holidays and summer vacation as her daughter, we relished our times together.
Katy, Age Five
Sometimes, though, we (or more accurately, I) would be struck by cabin fever and just need to get out. Money was tight, always, so big vacations were out of the question. But little day trips -

Blog postHey peeps,
I can’t believe it’s November, already. October flew by so fast, with so many things happening, it’s just dawning on me that there’s only two months left until 2016.
Yikes.
So, I thought I’d just provide an update. My newest book in the Kilts Books series, The Celtic Cradle, will be available on Friday, November 6th, through Kindle, Amazon and Createspace. This is book three of my series, and I’m feeling pretty blessed in this whole writing process. -
Blog postSeptember is National Suicide Prevention Month. So, I’d thought I’d share some tips on what to do if someone you love or work with attempts suicide.
And yes, I speak from experience.
Even with all of my vocabulary at my disposal, I have no way to adequately express how I reached that point, the one that made me think depriving my daughter of her only parent would actually benefit her. That I was doing this for her.
My daughter, Katy, at her First Communion.

Hey peeps,
Wanted to pass along a short blurb featuring an awesome opportunity for growth. Colm Keegan, Irish singer with the popular world music group Celtic Thunder, is taking students for his online teaching school. He starts his Music Theory class on Monday, July 20th, and will also teach an Intro to Irish after Christmas.
As a former member of Celtic Woman, a current Principal sing -
Blog postOne of these men is my Uncle Martin Regan in Enniscrone, Ireland, 1955.
Ireland has long fascinated me. The sheer rich history of the place and my connection to it through my mother have always caused me to seek out stories, music and conversations with those lucky enough to be from there.
This is part three of my interview with Thea Kelly, from Cape Clear Island in Ireland. Parts one & two are available through the previous posts.
You mentioned travelling. Have yo -

Blog postA few weeks ago, I had the chance to interview the lovely young lady from Ireland, Thea Kelly, who has helped me with some translation work for my second book, The Celtic Captive.
This is part two of that interview.
Tell me a little about yourself–your favorite activities, movies, books, etc.
I enjoy running and swimming. Considering I am surrounded by water (at home and at school) swimming wasn’t a hobby by choice. I’m training to become a qualified lifeguard and soon eno -
Blog postIn my second book, The Celtic Captive, my protagonist Cáel Moore’s first language is Irish, having grown up in a Gaeltacht (an Irish speaking community). Though fluent at both Irish and English, whenever he is disoriented, feeling ill, or is in the, um, romantic way, Irish is his go-to language. When Molly Evans first meets him, he is feeling all three of those things.
The only two Irish phrases my mom, an Irish girl from County Mayo, by way of Maltby, England, taught me a
