The Alaskan Sun, Book #5 Of The Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery Series Now Available

14-year-old Irish Dancer Liffey Rivers' itinerary on an Alaskan cruise ship includes shore excursions, panning for gold, polar bear sightings, a feis in Anchorage and her worst nightmare.

Mineral Point, Wisconsin. The Alaskan Sun, Book No. 5 of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery Series by Brenna Briggs is now available through U. S. bookstores and online worldwide: Paperback: 224 pages, Publisher: Brockagh Books (June 12, 2012), ISBN-10: 1477510575 ISBN-13: 978-1477510575.

Author Brenna Briggs readily admits that she is always looking for a "twist" or the unforeseen in everyday life.

This 'things are not always what they seem' outlook resulted in the creation of Brockagh Books ('brockagh' means 'place of the badger' in Irish) when she lived in County Sligo, Ireland, and publishing four critically acclaimed Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mysteries and one anthology of previously published Liffey Rivers short stories.

"The format is simple," says Briggs. "Liffey Rivers has a knack for noticing the little things that most people walk right by. This leads to her poking her nose into things and not unpredictably, she ends up in dangerous situations which ultimately result in her solving mysteries within a backdrop of Irish dance competitions--feiseanna."

"This formula works well because Irish dancing competitions are held all over the globe, including unlikely places such as Moscow and Mexico City, allowing Liffey to logically travel to interesting places as she participates in the exciting world of Irish dancing."

Book No.5, The Alaskan Sun, features Liffey Rivers traveling in Alaska's Inner Passage with her family and best friend, Sinead McGowan. Stunning scenery, exciting ship to shore excursions, a first boyfriend, an Irish dance competition (feis) in Anchorage and an epic grand finale, should provide Liffey Rivers' readers from ages 8-13 and up, a fast-paced introduction to their summer reading program.
