The Memory of Music: An Irish Family Saga of War & Redemption

One Irish family, 100 turbulent years.

1916: Betty O’Fogarty is proud and clever. Spurred on by Betty’s belief in her husband Seamus’s talent as a violin-maker and her desire to escape rural life, the couple elopes to Dublin. She expects life there to fulfill all her dreams. To her horror, she discovers that they can only afford to live in the notorious poverty-stricken tenements. Seamus becomes obsessed with republican politics and neglects his lucrative craft.

As Dublin is plunged into chaos as the Easter Rebellion of 1916, Betty gives birth to her first child to the sound of gunfire and shelling. But Betty vows that she will survive war and want, and move her little family out of the tenements. Nothing will stand in her way. A hundred years later, secrets churn their way to the surface, and Betty’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren uncover both Betty’s ruthlessness and her unique brand of heroism.

A River of Bodies

‘None of us involved in this are safe, do you realise that? I don’t feel safe. Since I stepped off the fuckin’ plane in Cork last night, I haven’t felt safe.’

Noelie Sullivan, disaffected ex-punk and grassroots activist, has every reason to be afraid. His investigation into Danesfort Industrial School and the boys who went missing from it is attracting attention. Special Branch want him to disappear and he’s made enemies of the powerful Walsh and Donnelly families.

But Noelie is determined to get to the truth. He won’t walk away. At least that’s what he tells himself until his friends and family start paying the price.

A River of Bodies is the gripping sequel to To Keep A Bird Singing and the second part of Kevin Doyle’s Solidarity Books trilogy.

The Worms That Saved The World

“Their lives are turned upside down when a luxury golf course invades their headland. The worms try to negotiate but their efforts are met with insecticide. Our long, wriggly friends have had enough! They decide to take action … A story for children and (ssssssh) adults too.”

The Worms That Saved The World is an illustrated children’s book about a rebellious group of earthworms who fight to save their home from a luxury golf course that takes over their headland. The story was inspired by a famous campaign that took place at the Old Head of Kinsale in Cork, Ireland at the turn of the millennium.

To Keep A Bird Singing

Ireland, 2010, and austerity is biting. When downbeat and disaffected Noelie Sullivan finds his missing punk records for sale in a charity shop in Cork, it seems like a lucky break until he discovers documents inside one of the sleeves, alleging that missing local man, Jim Dalton, was murdered twenty years ago.

In spite of himself, Noelie is drawn into the story of Dalton’s disappearance and uncovers a link between the missing man and a powerful family of brothers, the Donnellys, who have ties to Danesfort, a former industrial school near Cork. What Noelie doesn’t know is that Special Branch are watching his every move and they have a vested interest in making sure that he doesn’t discover the truth.

Topical and brilliantly plotted, this is a gripping political thriller about the abuse of power..

unRIP

The last critic to drive a knife into Karina Stark gave her the fame she craved – and she’s not ready to RIP.

When a pseudo-goth popstar and animal rights activist is found viciously murdered, she
becomes a cult icon – and her mother a monster. For Karina Stark left a diary in which she
accused Gloria of being ‘the Mum from Hell’. Envious of her daughter’s growing success, bitter
about her own broken dreams, Gloria wanted Karina dead – or so the girl claimed.

Now the grieving mum is under suspicion, up against the police, the press, the neighbours, the
other members of Karina’s band and the dead girl’s morbid young fans.

Gradually the real Karina emerges, through the eyes of her ex-boyfriend, an autistic girl she
relentlessly bullied, a jaded ex-tabloid journalist who starts an affair with Karina’s mum – and a
macho detective who is increasingly falling under Karina’s spell…

Meanwhile, Karina is still making appearances…haunting her neighbourhood and old school,
terrorising, seducing and destroying everyone who tries to put her soul to rest.
