Her fiction, poetry and travel writing have won awards in Ireland and the UK, and her work has been broadcast on RTE Radio. She is a member of Writepace, and spends as much time as she can by the sea. Something Bigger is inspired by the life of her grandaunt, Marcella, who left for the States at the age of fourteen and by the time they met, had become a real-life Alabama belle, with creamy blue eyes and a slow, Southern drawl. Marcella taught Sheila to read using the tales of Brer Rabbit, and filled her full of stories of the South, and the unforgettable drama that unfolded there and now lies within the pages of this debut novel.visualizza meno
