2013 Judges Special Award at the Children's Books
Ireland Awards; and she is a member of the Writers in

| 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. |
