Liz Riley Jones is the pen name of Sam Holland, a sculptor who lives and works in Kent.

It was the sculpture that Sam made of Dic Evans, an RNLI hero from Moelfre, Anglesey that reunited Sam with her family roots on the island.

Thomas Idwal Jones, her grandfather, was one of Dic's lifelong friends, yet it was a chance phone call from the Moelfre Partnership over ten years ago that took Sam to Anglesey and changed her life. Since then, an interest in Celtic mythology, history and identity has culminated in the story of Hiraeth - a mixture of personal experience, fantasy and homage to the great Celtic tales of the Mabinogion and the Irish Ulster Cycle. Inspired by her continuing struggle to learn Welsh, the Hiraeth trilogy also highlights the battle of all the Celtic languages to survive.
