Damhnait Monaghan

Damhnait* Monaghan grew up in Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador. A former teacher and lawyer, she is an award winning flash fiction writer with numerous publication credits. Her novella-in-flash, The Neverlands, was voted Best Novella in the 2020 Saboteur Awards. New Girl in Little Cove is her debut novel, inspired by the years she spent teaching in outport Newfoundland. The Globe and Mail called it "a warm hug of a book" while Post Media said, "This charming fish out of water tale practically begs to make the leap from page to screen as a heart-warming movie." Damhnait lives in the south of England with her husband, two teens and the family dog. (*pronounced Downith)
