Hi Paula.
We have really deeply enjoyed your Chronicles of Iona and eagerly await the 4th book. I understood it was to be released to coincide with the900 th anniversary of Columchille. I haven’t seen that it’s published yet, am I myopic ?
Thanks
Fhearghuis
Hi Alan/Fhearghuis! Many thanks for this. I’m delighted you are enjoying the series! And not to worry–your eyesight is 20/20! I had hoped to have ‘Cradle of Saints’ finished in time to mark Columba’s milestone anniversary this past December but the book got very big. So much to say! I’m finishing it up now with an eye to launch this April. I will certainly keep everyone posted as to my progress. In the meantime, keep well and thanks again for checking in. Paula
Just finished the cradle of Saints and really enjoyed all the wonderful places and events you described… looking forward to the fifth book in the Iona Chronicles … thanks Paula.
We are very well in New Zealand, but do miss our historic homelands .

Alan, This is great-—thank you for letting me know you enjoyed ‘Cradle of Saints’. That book was a fun one to write. I got to revisit many of the Early Mediaeval sites that I first had the pleasure of getting to know decades ago when it was just me, my hiking boots, and my backpack. It was a privilege to go back and figure out how they might fit into Aedan and Columba’s ongoing story. (The people were as lovely as I remembered.) Have you been to the North of Ireland and to Scotland? So many outstanding places to visit. The Corryvreckan Whirlpool is a real highlight-—it’s hair-raising when the tides are up! Proper scary.
