We will be redesigning this website at the beginning of 2024 to incorporate our stage work and other projects.

Author Amy Crider discusses her newly published, award-winning murder mystery novel,

To wrap up our audio book, Kells: the Gospel of Columba, Samuel Crider interviews the author Amy Crider. They discuss the upcoming publication of the novel, coming out in autumn 2023 under the title Kells: a Novel of the Eighth Century.

They also discuss some of the challenges of recording this year-long project. Thanks to all our listeners and fans.

What does Cellach decide, to be a chief or a monk? Does Oona find a way home? Find out in the emotional conclusion of Kells: the Gospel of Columba.

It has been exactly a year since we began posting episodes. Thank you for taking this journey with us. And thanks to our remarkable readers: Jeff Broitman (Connachtach), Baird Brutscher (Cellach), and Linsey Summers (Oona).

In Chapters Five, Six, and Seven, we alternate between Oona’s journey in the desert and Connachtach scribing the great Gospel that became known as the Book of Kells.

There is only one episode left!

An old friend comes to Connachtach with a life decision, and Cellach is introduced to the magical art of illumination.

Connachtach immerses himself into the hypnotic magic of scribing. Cellach returns to Iona, to find surprising news, and must make a decision about his future.
