HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR.

To ring in the first official episode of Season 2 Script to Story, and the Chinese New Year we are pleased to introduce you to Tribes Press Translator, Yifei Yang.  

Today, host Margueritte Tonery discusses the creativity of the Chinese language with Yifei, who delves into the art of translation.  There is so much more to translation than meets the eye. 

Our season finale ends with Host, Marguerite Tonery, interviewing the 6th class students of St Nicholas Parochial School in Galway City.

In our last episode of the series, the girls discuss how reading has helped them cope during a pandemic, what the future holds for them as debut authors and advice to their younger selves ten years from now.

Your host, Marguerite Tonery, interviews first-time author, Paul Mee, discussing his brand new Science Fiction adventure 'Deity Creation'.

When the Deusi discovers Earth, an experiment to create a single deity, the ‘Moses Experiment’, begins and proves only partially successful. They return fifteen hundred years later to try again.

Professor Yiler, a renowned theologian, and Dr. Nowlett, an eminent scientist, are instructed to lead a small team to resume the experiment. Following on from where they left off at the time of the Old Testament, the Deusi team begin to shape the lives of unsuspecting humans. However, political tension far beyond Earth soon impacts their work. Does the objective of the Deusi leaders justify the sacrifices being made? Is the experiment merely a small piece in a much broader plan?

Join Marguerite Tonery, as she hosts a conversation with a poet, Lynn, and her beautiful children's' book, A Fairy Wonderland of Rhymes.

Irish poet, Lyn Maloney dedicated A Fairy Wonderland of Rhymes to her grandchildren Lucy and Fionn, so that she could illuminate their childhood in the way that her very own Irish childhood came to life with stories of fairies and sprites. In this collection of seventy-three poems, the child and adult alike are transported to Fairyland with such enchanting lyrics as The Little Fairies Wren and An Irish Fairy Charm.

All seventy-three poems are printed in large, easy-to-read type with illustrations by Sally-Ann Kelly capturing the magic and mysticism of the fairy realm. This is a book filled with love and laughter, care and kindness, and above all, courage and determination for children of all ages

Marguerite interviews Tom Gilligan and discusses his experiences with numerous Drummers from bands all around Ireland, including some very big names such as Brian Downey from Thin Lizzy.

Irish Drummers Volume 1 is an insightful publication into the people behind the drum set. A joy for any music enthusiast (and everyone else).

Spoiler alert -  Volume 2 is in the making!

Join your host, Marguerite Tonery as she interviews Maria Breen-Fahey, a primary school teacher in  Galway, on her first picture book 'Silly Sammy', based on her childhood pet.
