Liath Contents

[gwynraven]

So, this is a story I've been working on for a long time, and for the past year or so, I've finally been able to get some actual scenes written. Some of you have been following my I'm sure frustratingly sporadic posting of this story for some time. Others may not have read any of it at all. I decided that since I've been skipping around so much it's high time I gave y'all a guide at least to what order the bits that have been posted so far should be read. Keep in mind that not only does the narrative itself skip around a lot (among other things it switches back and forth between post-Katrina New Orleans and 1st century AD Ireland) but there are also a lot of scenes in between that have not yet been written. So I'm not promising true coherency, but things will probably make the most sense if read in this order.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: such as they are. Liath is pronounced the same as Leah. It means 'grey' in Irish. I don't know if it's actually ever used as a name in Ireland, but assume for the sake of my story that it is. Any historical inaccuracies in this or any other bit of the story (which I think will end up as a novel if I ever actually finish it) will be covered under the 'no one really knows what Celtic society in ancient Ireland was really like, so I can make up whatever I want' excuse. I'm also claiming artistic license in having my ancient Irish characters using modern Irish words and phrases, since I don't know Proto-Celtic. Actually, I don't know Modern Irish either but I have a dictionary and a grammar book. Anyone who *does* know Irish please let me know if I got something wrong.
