Dorien Kelly is a talented new author with a love of Ireland. After setting aside a legal career and returning to her first dream -- writing -- she received both the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award, and the Georgia Romance Writers' coveted Maggie Award. The Last Bride in Ballymuir is the first of three contemporary Irish romances that will be published by Pocket Star Books.

Frequent visitors to Ireland, Dorien and her family have followed the coast from Dublin to Dingle and north to Dungloe, and tracked the River Shannon from beginning to end. When not traveling the Irish byways, Dorien can be found in Michigan.
