McCollonough credits her primitive childhood on an island off Ireland and her life in modern America, as inspiration for her writings. In this interview, we chat about her earth-based spirituality as well as what she still struggles with now that she's living a more modern life in Tennessee - which includes how difficult it is for her to take a selfie! We also discuss her writing style and inspirations, and what's growing in her family's garden. Y'all come on in!

Author
Author McCollonough Ceili is an Irish American who discovered her passion for writing when asked to record her memories of life on a primitive island off the coast of Ireland. That memoir titled Noria was published in 2009, and she has not stopped writing since. McCollonough follows a Celtic pagan path, and is here to talk about her personal story of living a Celtic life here in modern America. When she is not traveling the world, she calls the American South her current home.
