The "Celtic Journeys" Series
    While doing the research for my first novels, I discovered that there are many connections between the ancient pagan festivals of Ireland and the modern holidays which many of us celebrate today.
    I found this to be a fascinating topic and decided to take a look at all eight of the Irish festivals in a line of novels called the "Celtic Journeys" series.
    Each novel is a historical romance focusing on one of the ancient festivals and is a complete story in itself, so these books can be read and enjoyed in any order.


Cover Art for MISTRESS OF THE WATERSMISTRESS OF THE WATERS, released in May of 1999 from Leisure LoveSpell, is the latest in the "Celtic Journeys" series.

MISTRESS OF THE WATERS is a time-travel romance which takes on the ancient and powerful ritual of life and fertility called Beltane -- although our heroine knows it only through its much-diluted modern descendant, May Day.  Strange things can happen, she discovers, when one is chosen Queen of the May, and the hawthorn flowers are cut to make a crown . . .

"A moving story of ancient rites and beliefs . . . readers who like Gothic and magic will love this story."     -- Romantic Times Magazine, May 1999


Cover Art for QUEEN OF THE SUN
QUEEN OF THE SUN takes as its setting the very magical occurrences surrounding the celebration of the Summer Solstice.  This book was a July 1998 release from  Leisure LoveSpell.

I'm happy to tell you that QUEEN OF THE SUN received four stars from Romantic Times!

" . . . an engrossing tale of ancient Ireland . . . with accurate historical detail and well-crafted characters."     -- Romantic TimesMagazine, July 1998


Cover Art for LADY OF FIRE

LADY OF FIRE was published in August of 1996 by Leisure LoveSpell.  The plot involves a celebration of early spring called Imbolc -- a celebration which happens to fall on the same date as the heroine's birthday.

"Readers are whisked into the land of mists and warriors, Druids and legends, as Ms. O'Kerry spins a delightful yarn of undeniable love."
        -- Romantic Times Magazine, August 1996
 


Author Bio
    My writing career began in 1984 when I sold the first of over 100 non-fiction articles written for the national and regional horse magazines. All of those pieces appeared under the name "Janeen S. DeBoard."Cover Art for APRIL'S CHRISTMAS

        A few years later, a friend and I decided to try our hand at novels. We wrote three and sold the third one, APRIL'S CHRISTMAS, to Avalon Books in 1994.
        I've always had a great interest in Ireland, history, horses and fantasy, and truly enjoy combining all these things in my novels.

        Please don't be shy --   E-Mail your address to me and I'll be happy to autograph your bookplates and such, using my special silver pen and Celtic knotwork seal.
