About Keeper of the Light:
Rioghan is a healer and a guardian of fairy treasure. She lives alone in a sacred cave in the forest with the Fair Folk and her loyal wolfhounds for company.
Donaill, the king’s champion at the fortress of Cahir Cullen, is drawn to the beautiful Rioghan. But one night a few of his men catch sight of the treasure in the cave and plan to take it for themselves.
Then a jealous young temptress is determined to make Donaill her own, no matter what dark magic she must use. Rioghan, too, must decide how far into darkness she will go to protect her home, the Fair Folk, the ancient treasure, and the man she loves.
NOTE: Battlefield violence and cruel magic, though all is well in the end. A few brief scenes of encounters between consenting adults. No part of this work was generated using artificial intelligence (AI) of any kind.
This book was first published by Dorchester in 2003. It has been re-edited by the author and given a new cover, but is the same story as the original novel.
Each book in the Celtic Journeys series tells a complete story, so they may be read in any order.

Author Bio:
Like many who end up being writers, I’ve worked at many different jobs: riding instructor, horse trainer, computer programmer, and medical transcriptionist.
I began my writing career in the early 1980s with articles for several national and regional horse magazines. My friend Hazel wanted to break into writing novels, so together we wrote three: A *Star Trek* novel; a steamy romance; and, finally a sweet romance called *April’s Christmas.*
April got us started when Avalon published that book in 1994. After that I sold my own first novel, the historical romance *Lady of Fire,* to Dorchester Publishing in 1995. That was the start of the eleven-volume *Celtic Journeys* series, each of which is a romance set in ancient Ireland and tells a complete story.
I am a full-time novelist, ghostwriter, and copy editor, and I never use artificial intelligence (AI) software of any kind when creating my books. I can often be found doing workshops and panels at writers’ events and conventions.
