Kristina O'Donnelly was born in Rome, Italy and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. She is married to Michael O'Donnelly from Co. Armagh, Ireland. Her late parents were Geraldine von Landeck, of Vienna, and Semseddin Sami Vendresha, of Skopje/Shqup. Reflective of this background, O'Donnelly's novels are international, multicultural and ethnically diverse.

Lands of the Morning Series: Kaleidoscopic and highly exotic, the pervading theme in the Lands of the Morning™ Series is love, as well as social justice, explored on every level, controversial, all-consuming, and ultimately, redeeming. Briefly, this series is an arabesque of international politics, contemporary and ancient history, mythology, ambition, passion, triumph and tribulation, set against a tapestry rich in subtle reflections of the author's experiences in the Fourth Estate in Turkey and the USA. Skeins of people, places and customs rooted in Turkey -- Catalhoyuk, Troy, Ephesus, Sardis, Pergamum, Bodrum/Halikarnassus, Constantinople, Istanbul, Tarsus -- and branching out to Italy, Greece, Ireland, Israel, U.S.A., keep the subplots interlaced with the fast-growing scheme of events, which climax in an unexpected denouement.

The fruit of a lifetime of research and writing, this series is fiction based upon authentic, contemporary as well as historical backgrounds and events. Sources: [2] [3] also [4]
