Orna Ross is a novelist with an interest in creative intelligence -- applied to art and to life.
Her most recent novel is A Dance in Time, a large novel that interweaves past and present, real life and fiction into an intriguing murder mystery.
The Irish Independent: “…Ross has ransacked (her word) the best scholarly sources for her facts and ingeniously knitted a complex tale of betrayal, revenge, suspense, murder mystery — and surprise. One key event pounced on this cynical novel-reader utterly without warning… Orna Ross’ first novel, Lovers’ Hollow, was an account of two families caught up in the Civil War continuing up to the 1990s and at over 650 pages it was a big popular read. A Dance in Time is another big read but this is no mass-produced chick-lit. In this wild, gamey, bodice-ripper John McGahern meets Maeve Binchy.”
Orna is currently working on a new novel, again a family murder mystery, set in NYC during two fateful years for the MacIntyre family: 1863, when the Draft Riots inflamed the city; and 1968 when a different kind of disruption exploded.
She is also at work on a non-fiction book, Go Creative.
She blogs about Creative Intelligence and Creative Living at http://www.ornaross.com/blog
and runs a regular "Creative Intelligence for A Creative Life" workshop in London.
