It would be difficult to write about ancient Erin or Ireland without including fairies, leprechauns and other mythological creatures. So there are fairies mentioned in “King Eochaidh, the Horse Warrior.”

A. White, an award winning former librarian, who is also a long time member of Romantic Time and Publisher's Weekly. A. White has been writing for over fifteen years. She took classes in creative writing in college, specializing in ancient myths and legends. and later at a local community center while living in Chicago. In college she won the national contest to verbally list every country in the world, it's capital and ingenious language. Her works are mainly horror, fantasy, extreme, and sci-fi as well as, as some may says, "the truly strange predicament and puzzling." Books that I've written are "Clash with the Immortals, and eleven others which are part of the "Unholy Pursuit saga,". She has been working on the Chronicles since 2007. She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.
Most adults don’t mind a few fairies in a story. They just don’t want an entire book of them.

Thank you Faye, that’s good to know. But don’t worry, I haven’t changed anything from the original storyline. That is far too much writing and too late in the publishing to change any plots. My publishers are very good at sticking to my original storyline. In my series fairies just happens to be one of the many immortal creatures Ana meet or face. I know it’s commonly taught nowadays that they are not immortals. But according to the original stories about them they are immortals and most were not very nice beings. It’s was their offsprings with humans that aren’t immortal.
I read a story, a very old story where this woman was married to this man who was a fairy and he wanted out of the marriage but didn’t wish to break her heart so he died. Or at least appeared to be dead. So he was buried and moaned by his family but years later resurfaced in another village. His kids found him and dragged him back home to their mother who old and wrinkled by then but they held him capture and wouldn’t let him leave until after their mother’s death. He wasn’t counting on the kids finding him. Apparently according to the story he forget his children had some of his powers. That’s when humans supposedly discovered fairies are immortal and like mermaids lies to get out relationships.
