   The invasion? I like this, very Iron Age and dark.

      Thanks, Jane! Yeat’s line inspired a little Morgan Llewelyn with someone dark! 😉

         Don’t know her. It made me think of the Book of Invasions.

         She bases her fiction on the book of invasions, apparently.

         That explains the connection then 🙂 Funny she should have such an un-Irish name. Both Morgan and Llewellyn are quintessentially Welsh names.

         Maybe she kept her mother’s name?

         Could be. It’s been a while since I read her work, and I’ve forgotten her book jacket bio.

         Says she’s American, ‘mostly’ Irish but with some Welsh on her mother’s side.

   When I saw the image my mind said ‘Beowulf’ – for a good reason. Excellent work bringing divergent times together in just a few lines.
