Sydney Owenson, Lady Morgan and the Politics of Style
Recently there has been a growing scholarly interest in Sydney, Lady Morgan (nee Sydney Owenson). The reasons are many. In this work Dr.Donovan contextualizes an important yet relatively neglected author by analyzing an emblematic Irishness that was too often dismissed in the early 19th century as excessive showmanship; the criticism was not without some basis since Owenson was an actor's daughter and grew up in the company of traveling performers. The study includes an extensive discussion of Morgan's personal papers and artifacts housed in the national Library of Ireland and the Royal Irish Academy. No previous study has fully considered this crucial archival material and its implications....
Christmas Wish in a Bottle
Centuries old legends and fantastical stories surround the Inn of the Three Butterflies; the most recent involving guests’ claims that wishes they tossed into the sea in bottles came true. A widow was reunited with her military son, a couple found the son they gave up for adoption, a mother reconnected with her daughter estranged by divorce, and an underage mother allowed a gay couple to adopt her newborn baby. Maggie, a single mother, brings her five-year-old daughter Harper along on her magazine’s assignment to write about Christmas at the Inn. Kane, the innkeepers’ nephew and Grammy winning composer, has built a beach house nearby. Maggie and Kane are instantly attracted to one another and Kane rapidly bonds with kindred talent, Harper, a child piano prodigy. A revelation from Kane’s past threatens Maggie and tears Kane and Maggie apart. Can they mend the rips in their relationship in time to make Harper’s Christmas wish come true?
Through the Valley Part 2
October 15, 2026, marked the day the world went to hell. Years later, humanity was left vulnerable, depressed from losing loved ones, hungry from lack of food, and sadly enough, left with no hope of finding a cure to the devastating virus known as DP-20.

Fifteen years after Outbreak Day, two survivors began their journey by traveling across America to reach a rumored safe haven known as New Haven. Their journey has been perilous!

Fascist Lizards from Outer Space
When Kenneth Johnson's science fiction miniseries V premiered in 1983, it netted more than 40 percent of the television viewing audience and went on to spawn a sequel, a weekly series, novelizations, comic books and a remake. Yet the 2009 V reboot was cancelled in its second season, despite a robust premiere. Both versions were products of their respective times, but the original was inspired by classic works by the likes of Sinclair Lewis and Leo Tolstoy. Johnson's predilection for literature and history helped give his telling of V a sense of heart and depth that the contemporary version sorely lacked. Featuring exclusive interviews with cast and crew, this book examines V's cultural impact and considers the future of the franchise.
Reading the Irish Woman
The first analysis of the Enlightenment and Irish women and the most comprehensive study to date of Irish women and American emigration. Irish women negotiated, selected and at times defied the representations of womanhood presented to them in official and commercially sponsored media.
The Female Romantics
This study focuses on the dynamic interaction between Byron and Madame de Staël, Lady Morgan, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen; and the reaction to Byronism of the Brontës and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It thus challenges previous critics' segregation of the male Romantic poets from their female peers, whose agenda was perceived to be different: domestic and social.
War of the Worlds
Earth invaded by Mars! Millions incinerated by heat ray! Panic grips nation as Martian tripods advance on Washington! Remember the headlines?

Then Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast, followed by George Pal's 1953 movie. The Martians kept coming! This book is a tribute to Wells and those radio, television, comic book, and film adaptations that have been inspired by it. This second edition includes material on the Steven Spielberg blockbuster (with Tom Cruise), the two Pendragon adaptations, Mars Attacks, Independence Day, The Great Martian War 1913-1917, War of the Worlds: Goliath, the 2019 BBC miniseries, the 2019 8-part Fox-Studio Canal series, and plenty more...

"I never went to Iraq." "Then the uniform was a hoax to pick up women?" Griffin stopped. "Six years ago my identical twin brother went to Iraq. He was killed two days after he got there.
