Brenna Briggs is a former actress and documentary film director- producer. She lives in Sligo, Ireland, with her family and bog dog Cooga, where she writes articles for magazines, short stories and the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer mystery series. She is presently working on an historical novel for young adults about Sydney Owenson, the author of The Wild Irish Girl, who later became Lady Morgan and the first woman in Ireland to receive an author's pension. Briggs writes about this remarkable woman from a unique vantage point, as she has tea often at Longford House, the ancient estate where Owenson penned much of The Wild Irish Girl, with the same Crofton family who employed the author as a governess over two hundred years ago. |

| BACKPAGE: There is more intrigue in London than 13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers could have ever imagined! How will she tell the smug-looking security guard at the National Portrait Gallery that something is WRONG with one of the portraits of Queen Elizabeth I, hanging in the Tudor Gallery? And how can she even pretend she is ready to dance next week at an Irish dance competition in County Sligo, Ireland? And why is the Irish judge at the prizewinner Jig stage winking at her? Liffey has seen those eyes before... |

| The ancient Irish believed that people were affected by the cycles of the moon and that the moon can be linked to intuition and has real power over the deeds of men. They called the moon in September their ‘Blood Moon.’ It was the time when animals were butchered and prepared for the long, dark winter ahead. Their daily prayer to the Celtic moon goddess was to “leave us sound and whole.” The month of the Blood Moon is also the time when 13-year-old Irish dancer, Liffey Rivers, finds herself drawn back to Ireland seeking answers on the Mountain of the Moon before her own blood is spilled. |
