Welcome dear reader, I'm Orna Ross, Irish novelist and poet. Here you can browse and buy my novels and poetry books.
This website is for my readers. If you're a writer looking for the Alliance of Independent Authors, please go here instead.
I'm serialising 'A Life Before' on Substack.
A literary-historical novel serialised chapter by chapter — the coming-of-age of Maud Gonne and W.B. Yeats, narrated by Rosy Cross, the oldest woman in Ireland. A novel of seduction, intrigue, politics, and poetry, told in the voice of the only one who remembers it all.
Hello from my happy place, my favourite table at a local restaurant.
It’s May which in St Leonard’s means that we’re recovering from Jack in the Green, hiking through bluebells in the woods, and bracing ourselves for this year’s first swim in the sea.
I’ll be in Ireland in a few weeks on Maud Gonne Society business (yes, we finally have our incorporation & bank account) and I’m shifting the Go Creative! Podcast to Substack.
