Why the name Moonspinners? My mentor and favorite author, Mary Stewart, wrote a book by that name that was also made into a Disney movie. It was this book that inspired me to write my own first novel when I was very young and it has been Mary Stewart's continuing personal encouragement that has helped me to achieve my little pocket of success. She is a brilliant author and a very great lady.
Please sign my guest book. I'd love to hear from you!
Welcome! My name is Maureen McMahon. I am a teacher, mother, wife, lover of animals, lover of the sea, sunshine and wide-open spaces, but first and foremost a lover of writing.
Like all writers I struggled for many years to be taken seriously. Despite my instinctive need to put words to paper, it's often been lonely and difficult.
I've found that writing as a profession, or even as a hobby, is often looked upon with scorn, so not surprisingly, many talented individuals give it up to pursue more lucrative, but perhaps less fulfilling, occupations.
I understand too well how easily a writer can become tired and discouraged. The idea of wallpapering your house with rejection slips is not appealing no matter who you are.
With that in mind, I would like to dedicate this site to writers everywhere, regardless of experience, interests or ability. I will continue to develop it and hope to eventually have many more pages of interest.
In the meantime, I hope you can find some small source of encouragement here to help keep your creative energies alive and your inspiration sparking.
Shadows In The Mist will be coming soon from Cerridwen Press. In the meantime, it's available from Amazon.
