Mary Watson is the author of the Young Adult novel The Wren Hunt, described by the Sunday Times as ‘a thrilling and otherworldly depiction of Irish culture’. Her debut novel is part thriller, part love story. It was extremely well reviewed and was brought out by Bloomsbury, publishers of the Harry Potter series, a distinct vote of confidence from the company which discovered and nurtured J.K. Rowling. Originally from Cape Town in South Africa, and author of a number of works for adults, Mary now lives in Galway.
