Book Series Giveaway!
>> January 16, 2010
Imagine how excited I was last week when I was offered a copy of Patrick Taylor's new release, An Irish Country Girl.
I'm pleased to offer not one book as a giveaway this week but a copy of the entire series to one lucky reader! Thank you to Authors on the Web for coordinating the book giveaway.
From the author's website: Born in 1941, Patrick Taylor was brought up in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and receieved his medical education in Ulster. He initially practiced in a rural Ulster village akin to Ballybucklebo before taking specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After living in Belfast through the first two years of the recent Irish Troubles (1969-1994) he and his family emigrated to Canada where he pursued a career in medical research and teaching in the field of human infertility. His contributions have been honoured with three lifetime achievement awards including the Lifetime Award of Excellence of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society.
Synopsis: In AN IRISH COUNTRY GIRL (Forge Books; Hardcover; on-sale January 5th), Taylor turns the spotlight on Mrs. Kinky Kincaid, the unflappable housekeeper who looks after the two frequently frazzled doctors. She is a trusted fixture in the lives of those around her, and it often seems as though Kinky has always been there.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Some forty-odd years before and many miles to the south, the girl who would someday be Kinky Kincaid was Maureen O’Hanlon, a farmer’s daughter growing up in the emerald hills and glens of County Cork. A precocious girl on the cusp of womanhood, Maureen has a head full of dreams, a heart open to romance, and something more: a gift for seeing beyond the ordinary into the mystic realm of fairies, spirits, and even the dreaded Banshee, whose terrifying wail she first hears on a snowy night in 1922....
As she grows into a young woman, Maureen finds herself torn between love and her fondest aspirations, for the future is a mystery even for one blessed with the sight. Encountering both joy and sorrow, Maureen at last finds herself on the road to Ballybucklebo---and the strong and compassionate woman she was always destined to become.
