This is my first blog. I'm Shelagh. That's the Irish spelling of Sheila. I'm from the UK and my first novel Mr. Planemaker's Flying Machine was published in 2005.
Thanks Sheila. You're quite right, Sile (SHEE-la) "blind" or "gray eyes" is the Irish form of Cecilia. The spelling varies: Sheela, Sheelah, Sheila, Shelagh, Sheelagh, Shiela, Sheilag, Cicily, Celia, Selia, Sissy.
I should have said that Shelagh is one way to spell the Irish name, Sile.
In my novel, The Power of Persuasion, the title of one of the chapters is "A Sheila by any other name" but that's an Australian Sheila! Strewth!
