Hey there! I'm DC Speura
-and I breathe life into ancient myths.

Think of me as your guide through the forgotten whispers of Ireland’s ancient past.

 

I love digging up the myths, legends, and half forgotten stories of ancient Hibernia, dusting them off, and weaving them into tales that fire the imagination.

 

I still remember the exact day this passion for Irish history was planted in my young head. It must be over forty years ago now. I was stuck in a mind numbing lesson about the six wives of some English bloke, Henry the something or other. I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

 

“Why are we learning this?” I blurted out to the grumpy history professor. “Where’s the history of our own land, Ireland?”

 

Like a hawk he glared at me. “Ireland has no history, boy,” he snapped. “Dull place. Now, back to Anne Boleyn.”

 

That lit a fire under me. Ireland? Dull? Never! Some overweight fella marrying six times now that’s dull. A seed of defiance was planted that day. I was going to prove him wrong and uncover the stories that had been forgotten.

 

Life took its twists and turns of course. Let’s just say Guinness and the company of the opposite sex steered me down a different path for a while. But that seed eventually sprouted and grew into the passion you see today.

 

Writing is my lifeblood. I love uncovering the myths and legends of ancient Hibernia and bringing them back into the light. Stories of kings and queens, magic and gods, fierce warriors, epic romances, and the everyday lives of the tribes who once walked this land.

 

So if you’re ready to journey back to a time of brave warriors, mystical events, and powerful druids, come along with me. Let’s explore the wonders that lie beneath the tapestry of Hibernia’s stars.
