Kells: An Interview with Amy Crider
Correction I state in the interview the book is out November 1st but it is out today!Something a little different from the CHP, an interview with Award winning Playwriter and novelist Amy Crider!Kells is a Novel set in the 8th centaury AD in the heart and height of the Gaelic world, Connachtach, who trained at the monastery but had to return home due to a family tragedy and now is ready to return to Iona with a single-minded mission, to create a great gospel for the glory of God.This is an interview/review/discussion and my goal is to convince you this novel is worth your time and money because I really believe in this book!
