Today on the blog, we have Anne Gregor! She’s here with a Character Interview in honor of her newest release, Irish Goodbye! Join us and get to know Bébhinn O’Faolain.

How would you describe your parents’ relationship? Your father is significantly older than your mother, right?

My dad might be almost three decades my mom’s senior, but there have never been two people more in love. Growing up with my mom and dad taught me what true love is, what I deserve in a relationship, and to never settle for anything less. They are each other’s best friend and confidant. I want that.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

That’s easy. Loyalty to my family and friends. I grew up in a household that felt more like a community. Sure, I had my parents absolute love and attention, but I also had my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, and eventually, my family’s friends’ children to talk to, cry to, give and get advice from, and of course, cover for me when my best friends and I wanted to do something we shouldn’t—though, I think we all knew that nothing got by my dad.

Significant other?

I did meet someone on a ten-day hike in Wales. We were snowed in together, and even though nothing happened that night… I didn’t forget him.

Biggest challenge in relationships?

I’m definitely juggling my family and friends’ opinions, but ultimately, I’m trusting myself and following my heart.

Where do you live?

I grew up and still live in Dublin, Ireland, although both of my parents were raised in the United States. Oklahoma. My mom’s parents passed away before I was born, but her father was born and raised in Ireland, and her mother was a Native American from Oklahoma. I love having roots in both places and travel to the States often.

Who is your best friend?

You mean, who are my three best friends? Margaret Morrow, Blair Coll, and Gray MacGregor. All Scottish—I don’t hold that against them—and daughters of my mother’s best friends.

What do you do for a living?

I am about to start my final year at Trinity College in Dublin. I already work part-time for my mom and aunts at their interior design business, Triskelion Territory Designs. I have also started taking a keen interest in my father’s whiskey distillery, Three Wolves.

Greatest source of joy?

My family, of course, but lately, if I’m honest, I would say that it’s the man from the Wales hike. When he texts me, or calls me, or sends me a funny meme, or… surprises me with a visit to Dublin just to take me to dinner. Yeah… that is joy.

Greatest sadness?

I don’t want to talk about that. Next.

What do you do to entertain yourself or have fun?

I love hiking! I love the adventure of it. You can hike the same trail fifty times and never have the same experience. Dad and I even went through an outdoor survival camp in the States to prepare us for longer, more challenging trails.

What is your greatest personal failing, in your view?

I look for the good in everyone. EVERYONE. And sometimes, there just isn’t any. Something I’ve learned recently is that if it feels off, it probably is. Don’t make excuses, don’t tell yourself that you’re being foolish. Take action. There are a lot fewer repercussions than doing nothing.

What keeps you awake at night?

I wonder if the person I lost sees me from Heaven—and if he approves of the woman I’ve become.

What is the most pressing problem you have at the moment?

Whether or not to come clean to my family about the new man in my life or continue to sneak around. Decisions. Decisions.

Want to know more about Irish Goodbye?

She thought sorrow was her only companion. Fate had something else in mind.

Tragedy shattered her family, and Bébhinn O’Faolain is still gathering the pieces. At nearly twenty‑one, the youngest child of the Byrne sisters is suffocating under love, loss, and relentless protection. Desperate for independence, she sets out alone on a ten‑day trek through the rugged mountains of Wales, hoping the solitude will quiet her grief.

But the trail has other plans. Shadows move when she isn’t looking. Her belongings vanish and reappear. And when a storm drives her into an abandoned cave, Bébhinn’s uneasy solitude is broken by Dagr Griffiths—a striking, brooding stranger with Nordic features and secrets as deep as the valleys surrounding them.

Drawn together by isolation and danger, Bébhinn and Dagr ignite a connection neither expects. But what follows her from the Welsh peaks refuses to stay behind. The shadows that stalked her have found their way home to Ireland—and they know her name.

Irish Goodbye balances grief, humor, and blazing chemistry, weaving a story of self‑discovery, family, and fated love. Between Dublin, London, and the wilds of Wales, Bébhinn and Dagr will defy families, distance, and even fate itself… if the darkness doesn’t claim them first.
