Patrick's Corner
In this warmhearted memoir, the author revisits growing up the youngest of six in an Irish Catholic family in post–World War II Cleveland. You’ve heard of Murphy’s Law and even the Peter Principle, but here’s a new one: Patrick’s Law.

The youngest has certain traits that can last to adulthood: “His clothing will mark him and his position in the family strata. His socks will droop because of a lack of elasticity brought on by age and the larger ankles of his brothers. The youngest will generally never hold an original opinion fo...
Detective O'Patrick's Ghostly Encounters
Detective Daniel O’Patrick is no ordinary detective . . . although he often wishes he was. O’Patrick has a weak link in his aura, making him susceptible to ghostly encounters. Not only that, he can communicate with them too—and they won’t stop demanding his help! Knowing he is a real-life detective, ghosts and spirits alike persuade O’Patrick to help them resolve something they couldn’t before they died. In turn, he receives payment, but not the monetary kind. More often than not, they give this Torontonian detective something he otherwise didn’t know he needed. O’Patrick never knows when he will encounter a supernatural being, which leads to some surprising and humorous situations. Is there any way he can get rid of them for good? Detective O’Patrick’s Ghostly Encounters is a tangled tale of quirky conundrums, unrelenting circumstances, and surprising discoveries.

As Our Broken Selves
The town is divided when an unspeakable act takes place involving a coach and one of the players on his Little League team, the Broken Bats. Team members and their families answer the accusations with deliberate actions that have equally forceful consequences. Reason is given through conversation as the path forward is sometimes blurred with emotion. Like in baseball, each side will have their turn at bat. A home run will be hit, but errors and choreographed outs will also be made, until the winner is decided not by those on the playing field, rather by the reader. This story is riveting with events that propel you into the lives and emotions of a young baseball team and their parents. Gripping events and deceit lay a framework for a captivating adventure, with a group of boys being thrown into an adult world. As Our Broken Selves is an ambitious attempt at understanding and gaining perspective on a subject discussed rarely in comparison to its occurrence.
