The Tales of Tanglewood blog focuses on two things:

One: postings from the Scribe, he who has been given the task of putting the many Tales of Tanglewood to paper, and instilling them within the Well of Knowledge, so that the history of the 'wood may always be available to all of the fey who require it.


Two: News and relevant topics, such as Irish and Celtic folklore, interesting facts and websites used for research for the book, and even music, recipes, and other things that I, in all my wisdom, deem important enough to place here.


For more information regarding the book, The Tales of Tanglewood, please
visit the website to learn more about Colin and the other characters in the 'wood, and to download a sample of the first 3 chapters for free.

Irish Fairies

Called by any number of names, whether it be fairy, faery, fae, fey, shee, wee people, and many more, the fairies of Irish folklore have fascinated us through the years.

No doubt as children, many of us searched for evidence of fairies, sprites, brownies, leprechauns, and other fey, in dark corners of our attics, rings of toadstools in our backyards, and secluded areas of woods, all magical places unto themselves.

Whilst writing my own book, I cam across a few tomes that are exceptionally entertaining and instrumental for anyone wanting to learn more about the many fairies of Ireland, and the myths and legends that go along with them. Aside from the more well-known fairy types, these books also introduce you to other fey that are no less intriguing, such as the banshee and the pooka.
