Meet Irene
Irene Watson, author of award winning The Sitting Swing, was born and raised in a
tiny hamlet of Reno in the northern area of the province of Alberta in Canada. It
was a farming community, mostly settled by immigrants from Russia, Ukraine and
Poland during the early 1900s.
Two books that had the deepest impact were Change me into Zeus’s Daughter by
Barbara Robinette Moss, and, Lost and Found by Babette Hughes. Reading both books
inspired Irene to write about her own life’s journey, from growing up in a semi-
abusive home to finally accepting that experience as a path to a spiritual
understanding of life. She now shares her story in The Sitting Swing.
Irene is the Managing Editor of, Reader Views, where avid readers can find reviews
of recently published books as well as read interviews with authors. Her team of
reviewers carefully reads each book and posts their honest opinion.
Irene received her Bachelor of Liberal Studies, Summa Cum Laude, in Psychology
from Saint Edward's University in Austin and her Master of Arts, with honors, in
Liberal Studies: Psychology, from Regis University in Denver.
Today, Irene lives beside Barton Creek in Austin, Texas with her husband Robert of
42 years, and their Pomeranian, Tafton; their calico cat from a rescue shelter,
Patches; and their cockatiel, Clement.
