TUESDAY, March 19th AT 7PM: THE SHADOW BY THE GATE

"Pookah" by Jack Butler Yeats

It was six years ago that Caledonia began self-publishing her short stories, beginning with her first publication A TRIO OF IRISH TALES.

The Shadow by the Gate is the first tale featuring young Liam, a 21st C teenager transplanted from metropolitan Chicago to very rural Ireland - it is the story that started it all. As Liam arrives in the strange world of his grandmother, filled with legends and folklore, he's not prepared to trip over one of his grandmother's tales come very much to life.

WEDNESDAY, October 5th at 7pm: IN THE MIST (2016)

We'll try again, this week with a new and functional microphone . . .

In 2012, Caledonia wrote one of her very first spooky stories: "In The Mist" where a young woman , upset by her boyfriends public flirtations with a tourist, runs off into a misty Irish Autumn night.  What could be lurking out there, just waiting out there for someone vulnerable, like Daimhin.

This story was published in 2013's "Trio of Irish Tales" and it has recently been updated for a machinima production.  Cale reads through the revised version of the story, tonight.

WEDNESDAY, January 2nd @ 7PM: An Original Irish Tale

Cover Art by Derry McMahon

Liam is a typical 21st Century teenager - he is so totally "wired" to his gadgets and the internet, that his family rarely sees his face, just top of his forehead.  He seeks his truths on the internet  Family circumstances change, and Liam's family relocates to Ireland to take care of his paternal Grandmother who is recovering from an accident.  Suddenly Liam is thrust into world that seems steeped in myths and legends, and finds himself bumbling into conflict with a pooka (pouca) over the "Pooka's Share" and the rascally spirit demands the respect it is due as the Shadow at the Gate.

A child of the diaspora, author Judith Cullen (Caledonia Skytower) grew up with stories told about her father and his Irish family.  Recently making a radical career shift, she has begun to craft short stories inspired by those tales, and by members of her own family in celebration of her Celtic roots. Shadow at the Gate will be one of three original stories epublished by her in the new year in the first of a series of "Trio" story collections: A Trio of Irish Tales.
