The title character of the young adult paranormal novel MAGGIE QUICK is a nine-year-old in a small Irish-American town. Irish immigrants to the USA brought forms of witchcraft with them. Maggie discovers that she has special powers and that she alone must try to save her village from destruction by evil forces.

She pours out her hopes, her questions, and her fears to three wise women, who guide her toward understanding just in the nick of time!

Thanks for your comment! Be prepared for hair-raising action and magical moments! While walking five miles each day, Eleanor and I discovered that we share Irish-American roots. My Great Aunt Margaret used to tell stories based on Irish myth and legend. Eleanor's mother passed along Grandmother Kirkpatrick's Irish folklore. Eleanor and I wove these narratives into our novel, set in an Irish-American town that is a hybrid of our hometowns. May your feet never touch the sidewalk!
