Darragha Foster
British poet W.H. Auden once said, "Few people take an
interest in Iceland, but in those few the interest is
passionate." Darragha Foster is passionate about Iceland.
Of mixed European, Irish and Syrian descent, Darragha's
parents were often dumbfounded at her driving passion to
study Icelandic, the Viking Age, Norse Mythology and the
Icelandic Sagas. After a solo post-high school trip to
Iceland, Darragha's passion remained unquelled.
Since early childhood, Darragha's only career goal was to
be a writer. After publishing non-fiction articles (about
Iceland and the Viking Age), Darragha turned her hand to
romance. Believing one must write what one knows, Darragha
wove the Icelandic Sagas and delightfully naughty gods from
Norse Mythology into the fabric of her work. "Love's Second
Sight" is Darragha's first novel. It explorers the
historical romance between Leif Eriksson, Norse Explorer,
and Thorgunna, the fabled Witch of Tiree. Loki, the Norse
god of mischief is Darragha's Muse. He insisted that he be
written into the novel as the "villain." Darragha complied.
The resultant story leaves the gods amused and readers
fully engaged. Darragha traveled to Iceland a second time, and the Isle of
Tiree (www.isleoftiree.net) while researching "Love's
Second Sight." She's proud to share that she lived what she
wrote while in Iceland and Tiree. Darragha says, "You'll
have to read the book to understand that comment! I'm a
hands-on researcher." Much to the chagrin of her husband,
Darragha stalked a Klingon Warrior at the Star Trek
Experience in Las Vegas. She was heard to have cried, "But,
he's so Viking!" as she was dragged away by her family.
Barring any future vacation mishaps, Darragha makes her
home in Washington State with her intrepid and patient
husband and athletic daughter. Darragha continues to
write 'romance of mythic proportions' while enjoying a full-
time hobby as a middle school secretary.
