Description

At dawn on the winter solstice Marion Neilson's dream will finally come to pass. Along with a handful of dignitaries and fellow seekers she will be admitted to Newgrange, the-five-thousand-year-old mound in the heart of Ireland, which is illuminated with the sun's rays just once a year, on the Winter Solstice. While awaiting entry to the cairn, Marion reviews her tempestuous relationship with the enigmatic Peter, their gradual shift from friendship to explosive love, his gradual slump into depression and their heart-wrenching separation. Within the sacred site of Newgrange the spirit of its extraordinary builders, artists and leaders still resonates, while ancient forces beckon its visitors to unburden their minds and unleash their dreams. For Marion, this is the chance to let go of the past and allow her emotional wounds to heal. As the first rays of light pierce through the darkness, will fate intervene to open her heart to new love?

Author Biography:

Lucy Costigan first discovered the magic of writing as a young child. Since then, writing has played an integral part in her life and work. Lucy has had four books published in Ireland, including her bestselling biography, Glenveagh Mystery: The Life, Work and Disappearance of Arthur Kingsley Porter (Merrion, 2012). Strangest Genius: The Stained Glass of Harry Clarke (with photographer Michael Cullen) was shortlisted for Best Irish Published Book by the Irish Book Awards in 2010. Lucy's groundbreaking book, Bullying and Harassment in the Workplace (Columba Press, 1998) was the first book published in Ireland on the subject. Lucy is also the author of Irish Guide to Complementary and Alternative Therapies (Wolfhound Press, 1997). Lucy has worked in the diverse areas of editing, computer programming, technical writing, counselling and social care. After working for many years in Dublin, and in Santa Clara, California, Lucy now lives in her home town of Wexford. One of Lucy's most memorable experiences was witnessing the sun enter the chamber in Newgrange on the Winter Solstice. For further information or to contact the author visit www.lucycostigan.com.
