Anna Heussaff aka Anna Sweeney (Ireland)
Deadly Intent
(2014)

 

Anna Heussaff is a novelist writing in Irish and in English. Her most recent novel, Deadly Intent (2014), is her own translation to English, under her pen name Anna Sweeney, of her previous Irish work, Buille Marfach, which was published under her own name. Hóng, an adventure mystery she wrote for young readers, won the 2013 Judges Special Award at the Children's Books Ireland Awards; and she is a member of the Writers in Schools scheme.
Her crime novels to date have been set on the southwest coast of Ireland; however, her latest crime novel (to be published in 2015) is set in the historic area of Kilmainham in Dublin, where she lives with her family.

 

Romancière jonglant entre le gaélique et l'anglais, Anna Heussaff a récemment publié Deadly Intent (2014), traduction anglaise de son dernier ouvrage en gaélique Buille Marfach, paru sous le pseudonyme d’Anna Sweeney. Elle a reçu le Prix Spécial du Jury pour son roman d'aventures jeunesse Hóng lors des Children's Books Ireland Awards 2013 (Prix Irlandais de la littérature jeunesse) ; elle est membre du programme « Writers in Schools ». Contrairement à ses précédents romans policiers dont l'action se situe sur la côte sud-ouest de l'Irlande, son prochain thriller (à paraître en 2015) se déroule dans le quartier historique de Kilmainham à Dublin, où l'auteur vit avec sa famille.

 
Is úrscéalaí í Anna Heussaff a scríobhann i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. An t-úrscéal is déanaí uaithi ná Deadly Intent (2014) a bhfuil a hainm cleite Anna Sweeney ag gabháil leis: is aistriúchán é a rinne sí féin ar a húrscéal Buille Marfach. Bhuaigh Hóng, a húrscéal eachtraíochta do léitheoirí óga, Duais Speisialta na Moltóirí ag duaiseanna Children's Books Ireland 2013; agus tá sí páirteach i scéim na Scríbhneoirí sna Scoileanna freisin. Go dtí seo bhí a húrscéalta bleachtaireachta suite ar chósta an iardheiscirt in Éirinn; ach tá an chéad cheann eile (a fhoilseofar i 2015) suite i gceantar stairiúil Chill Mhaighneann i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a bhfuil cónaí uirthi féin agus a teaghlach.
