My Writing:
I write well researched historical fiction that is based in fact.
My Irish Dresser Series is about our Irish ancestors who came to America to find a better life, their trials and tribulations that resulted, and how a young woman came to survive and eventually thrive in America.
My latest publication is Catharine, Queen of the Tumbling Waters - the story of Catharine Montour, a well known historical figure in New York and Canadian history.

My Teas and Entertaining:
We have a dance room where we've hosted everything from dances/ceilis to teas, psychic gatherings, and even neighborhood meetings to fight various issues of the day. Every New Year's, we like to host a ceili - an Irish social gathering full of music and dancing. Our purpose is to bring people together with delicious fare and meaning. Check out the Events page to see when our next events are. Contact me if you're in the New Hampshire to Boston area and would like to attend an event!
My Blogs:
I write blogs for both sides of my life: Writing and Baking/Teas/Entertaining. In my Cynthia's Cynsations Blog, I include recipes and photos of various events and baked goods that I have created. Please read whichever one suits your fancy, and leave me a comment! I'd love to hear from you.
