O. R. Melling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
O.R. Melling, also known as G.V. Whelan, is an author of several fantasy novels. Melling's novels are aimed at young adults and contain stories mostly written around Irish and Celtic folklore, faeries in particular.
Melling travelled extensively in her youth, straying as far from Toronto, Ontario, (where she was raised) as Malaysia and northern Borneo.
With a B.A. in philosophy and Celtic Studies and an M.A. in Mediaeval History, Melling has written film scripts, papers and become a literary critic under her real name, G.V. Whelan.
Currently living in her hometown of Bray, CO, Wicklow, Melling is still writing and has a teenaged daughter, Findabhair.
Many of Melling's books have been translated into Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Slovenian and Czech.
