This one is long overdue, but better late than never. On St. Patrick’s Day earlier this year, I had a book signing at Noley’s Books, Art, & Whatnot in Payson, AZ.

I’ve been super busy this year and only now am getting to this post. You’ll be happy to know that a significant portion of that delay was due to a lot of work on the new book I’m writing which I hope to see out at the end of this year or early 2027.

Being St. Patty’s, this book signing was of course to feature my historical novel Kelly: a tale of Ould Ireland. For those of you who don’t know what this book is about, Payson Roundup correspondent Vanessa Fraire captured the spirit of Kelly in a nutshell:

“The story follows a woman who owns a pub when the landlord of her county dies without an heir. Kelly, revealed to be his illegitimate daughter, is next in line to take over. Because she is a woman, that possibility comes with challenges, and at first she is reluctant. As her community begins to struggle without leadership, she ultimately steps forward to take charge.”

Besides my book, live Irish music and of course a pint of Guinness (complete with a souvenir glass) rounded out the perfect St. Patrick’s Day.

Kelly: a tale of ould Ireland is available here on Amazon and print copies are available at Noley’s 103 Hwy 260 Payson, AZ 85541.
