Inishowen author honoured by English Actress
Hazel McIntyre, award winning Inishowen poet, is to have her work
published in a book being compiled by Wendy Craig, renowned English
Actress. Hazel's poem, 'Warm Days of Summer' was chosen by Wendy
Craig to be included in a book being published by 'Christians in
Entertainment'.
Hazel from Culdaff said: "I got a phone call from Wendy's
agent about my poem and I was very honoured as I am a great fan
and admirer of hers". Looking forward to the launch of the
finished book in London later this year, Ms McIntyre, who is the
author of six compelling books added: "The launch was postponed
until September, but I have been invited to it, and I will receive
the invitation when the date has been finalised".
Hazel, has based many of her poems on the beautiful background
of her native Culdaff, and added that her inspiration for the piece
came following a turbulent personal time. "I was recovering
from a bout of depression back in 1993 and I found that escaping
back to childhood helped a lot. So I began writing as a form of
therapy. Warm days of summer was included in my first publication
- 'Iron wheels on rocky lanes', which Wendy read and was inspired
by".
Hazel is currently working on another book of poetry.
