Hi, I'm Orna Ross...
… Irish novelist, poet, and proud self-publisher, founder of the Alliance of Independent Authors. Through my writing and publishing I discovered a philosophy and way of living which I call Go Creative! and now share through my podcast and creative planning programme.
I've been writing for 40 years, successfully self-publishing for over a decade, and infecting others with curiosity and creativity forever. You can browse and buy my books, directly from me, here. Or become a reader member to receive first dibs and best deals. Read on!

My take on
WB Yeats's Love Poems
to Maud Gonne
with her commentary
Thank you for all your sympathy wishes and condolences. I'm now getting my work back on track after months of derailment and yes, it feels goooood!
The blog and podcast have resumed and I'm working hard on A Crowd of Stars (pub date: Sept 30). Stay tuned.
