I'm currently reading THE SUBTLE SERPENT by Peter Tremayne. This is 4th of 21 in series featuring Sister Fidelma a 7th century Celtic sister and legal advocate in Kildare, Ireland. Here is a description:
When the decapitated body of a young woman is found in the well of the Abbey of the Salmon of the Three Wells, Sister Fidelma travels to western Ireland in her capacity as an advocate of the Brehon law courts. En route to the Irish kingdom of Muman, she encounters a drifting merchant ship whose crew and cargo have evidently disappeared.
It was published in 1999 and has 320 pages.
Tonight/tomorrow morning is an amazing celestrial triple play: a full moon at total eclipse during the winter solstice has not occurred in nearly 400 years. Since Year 1 ... only find one previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the solstice, and that is 1638 Dec. Rembrandt was alive. I LOVE history. Due to the amount of recent volcanic eruptions across the globe spewing up tonnes of dust into the atmosphere, scientists believe that instead of the usual orange/yellow tinge, the moon will adopt a red or brown appearance. If you think you'll miss the action, as both NASA and the Griffith Observatory will be streaming the eclipse live.
Much love,
