Lasairiona McMaster grew up dreaming of an exciting life abroad, and, after graduating from Queens University, Belfast, that is exactly what she did. She spent seven and a half years in America and eighteen months in India, before repatriating to Northern Ireland in November 2018. With a penchant for both travelling and writing, she started a blog during her first relocation to Houston, Texas. Since repatriating to Northern Ireland, she has decided to do as everyone has been telling her to do for years, and finally pen a book (or twelve) while she tries to adjust to the people and place she left ten years ago, where nothing looks the same as it did when she left.

Her first book, Bloom Where You Are Planted is a part-memoir, part how-to guide for moving and living abroad. Rich with tips on how to expat like a boss, this book takes you on a journey from packing up her life in Northern Ireland to jumping in at the deep-end as an expat in two countries. Shortly after releasing her non-fiction book, Lasairiona published her first romance series, (Intimate Strangers, The Good in Goodbye and Fateful Coincidence). She is a hopeless romantic and is enjoying delving into the world of romantic fiction!Read More →

When did you start writing, and why?

I’ve been writing since I was a kid, I remember finishing my first ‘novel’ at age seven. It was a sort of superhero story about saving the world with my stuffed toys who had come to life. I’ve always loved to read and making my own stories so others could read them seemed like a natural next step.

At what age did you take yourself seriously as a writer?

As you all know by now, I am a frantic cardslinger and I love connecting creativity and cartomancy in my tarot books. However, it isn’t often that I come across someone who combines the two as well, and in such a brilliant way.

I recently started following Kristen from Over the Moon Academy on Instagram and when I saw her pictures of her new Mystic*Maker*Muse Question Cards for Creatives, I knew I had to get her onto this blog.

Lucky for me, she agreed!

Kristen is a divination junkie, cartomancy instructor, and oracle + tarot deck creatrix. She has a passion for helping people see the symbolic patterns in their lives and using them for problem solving and self-discovery.

You can find her on Instagram and enrol in one of her Over The Moon Academy classes here.Read More →
