To Lauren Chroman and Toby Rider…you have my deepest gratitude and endless thanks for all of your help with the Gaelic, both Irish and Scottish.
My apologies to all Gaelic speakers if I’ve done these beautiful languages any injustice. It’s incredibly hard to find good translation sites and even harder to find proper pronunciation guides. If I’ve flubbed anything up it is all of my own doing and no fault of Lauren or Toby.
Please note that in inventing the language of Na Síraide Cinn, I have taken some liberties in combining the two occasionally, and have created some completely new words as well, I mean no offense.

About the Author…
Stasia Morineaux grew up in Southern California, pursuing faeries in the garden, hunting down things that went bump in the night, and seeking spirits in the local graveyard.
She resettled recently in not-too-far-north-of Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband, daughter, and their bevy of creatures…both real and “imaginary”.
Mysterious dreams, copious hours of awesome music, and obscene amounts of coffee fuel her writing sessions.
Stasia writes paranormal romance, chick-lit, urban fantasy, and dark fantasy.
In her spare time she likes to relax on her balcony, feet kicked up, listening to the squirrels arguing with the crows in the trees.
Please drop by her website for News, Photos, Future excerpts for Book Two, Videos, the Writing Soundtracks and much more!
