Sheila Killian
Sheila Killian was born in Roscommon, in the dead centre of Ireland, and now lives outside Limerick City, where she teaches at University. Her fiction, poetry and travel writing have won awards in Ireland and the UK, and her work has been broadcast on RTE Radio. She is a member of Writepace, and spends as much time as she can by the sea.

Marcella taught Sheila to read using the tales of Brer Rabbit, and filled her full of stories of the South, and the unforgettable drama that unfolded there and now lies within the pages of this debut novel.
