Pat McDermott’s novels, which are mainly set in Ireland, include tales of action/adventure, romance, and fantasy. The Glimmer Books, Glancing Through the Glimmer, Autumn Glimmer, and A Pot of Glimmer, are young adult paranormal adventures starring Ireland’s mischievous fairies and a royal family that might have been. The Glimmer Books are “prequels” to her popular Band of Roses Trilogy: A Band of Roses, Fiery Roses, and Salty Roses. Unholy Crossing is a ghost story set in Boston and Ireland in 1912. Her contemporary romances, The Rosewood Whistle, The Bogwood Horse, and The Cherrywood Banjo, feature Ireland’s music and myths. Pat's favorite non-writing activities include cooking, hiking, reading, and traveling, especially to Ireland. She lives and writes in New Hampshire with her husband and three talkative Tonkinese cats.
