    “What I am discovering however, is that this desire, this impulse to record my presence, is alive and well in me, and is growing in intensity as the years roll into one other. I feel the Spirit encouraging me ever so positively not alone to give such an undertaking serious consideration but to get on with it.”
    The author is clearly highly attuned to the interplay between the natural environment, its creatures and us humans, and we are provided with appealing pen pictures of people, places, and moments in time, experienced in his beloved  paradise that is the Beara Peninsula. In the latter section of the book, a fascinating dialogue takes place on the question of whether we humans 'are happy' given the wonders and beauty of the universe provided by the Creator for our enjoyment. Each copy of this book is signed by the author.

    C.M. Donnell

    Jimmy McCarthy separates from his poetically labelled girlfriend “Whorebags”, and his adorable daughter Abi, and is now forced to move in with his ageing Dad. Jimmy is now left with challenges he wasn’t prepared for, and he starts to lose his way. This intense, and at times, grimy Irish comedy is full of colourful characters, from a family of know-alls to the adorable paunchy super-duper omelette-making neighbour. But can compassion and love for other human beings drive a young man towards insanity? Lost ways is a unique story with heart-breaking storylines and heart-warming relationships that impact Jimmy’s wellbeing. This fast-paced novel has twists and turns, and the unique singular voice allows the reader to experience this journey of love, hate, community, comedy, tragedy, and adversity, from inside Jimmys head.

  • James Good Of the articles which follow, some few remain in my files because I did not succeed in getting them published. The majority were never submitted for publication, while some few are in a kind of no-man’s-land – sent to a publisher and never even acknowledged. An occasional one may have been printed without my knowing it. All in all, writing articles and seeing them in print is a joyous, fulfilling experience. A writer hopes that his joy at seeing himself in print is somehow shared by his readers. With this double purpose in mind, I have put together this collection of pieces written over the years but – as far as I am aware – never appearing in print.

  • Bridget Goulding

    A grandmother’s century’s old collection of photographs and a comment about a grandfather sets a descendant on a quest to find her ancestors, revealing long kept secrets and human tragedies. Through several years of research, the wonders of DNA, and many helping hands from beyond the veil, Fallen Leaves is more than family stories woven through history but is a personal journey of discovery.  Bridget Goulding served for several years with the Kilmurry Historical and Archaeological  Association during the building of the Independence Museum Kilmurry. Each edition of Fallen Leaves is signed by the author.
