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.

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...

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.
