Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.

Last summer, I stayed 30 days in Dungloe and 28 in Rathmullan. I played all 19 Donegal golf courses. I’ve seen 9 of the 12, missing the two waterfalls and Carrickfin Beach. Last year was a cool, wet summer. I hope I get the chance to stay there again. I’m playing in two golf tournaments this summer – Donegal Links Classic – Ballyliffin, Portsalon and Rosapenna! Also, Causeway Coast tournament – Ballyliffin, Portrush Valley, Castlerock, and Ballycastle. Also, visited Skellig Michael last summer! What a year!

I’ve tried for Skellig Michael three times, each time thwarted by stormy weather!

My daughter and her husband and children live in Derry (quite a distance from us, here in Cork) and we often meet up somewhere in Donegal (last year it was Ardara) I totally agree with you, it’s an amazing county – beautiful views, friendly people and a fabulous coastline.

How wonderful! Cork is beautiful, too. I truly enjoyed a day of exploring the Ring of Beara. I stopped at a random forest, we walked through the path, found a deer flirting with us, and when we got to the top of the hill (with the help of some locals walking their dog), we found not one, but TWO stone circles!

That was certainly worth the effort. We live in east Cork near the Waterford border but often visit west cork. Last year we spent a few days on the Beara peninsula. Loved it, been there five or six times over the years and will probably go again this summer.

Indeed it was – Some day I’ll make it back. Oddly enough, I’ve never been to Cork city… also on my list! And I’m probably one of the few tourists to go to Ireland and never visit Blarney Castle.
