The Ramblings of a Condemned Man
Kevin Byrne shares unique insight into the world of a man condemned by both his body and mind. In these stories, on loan from his personal collection, chaos becomes a burden that is no longer his-weighted instead onto the characters he has created.
Clonard
Clonard is a look at a working class community as told through the eyes of a retired Catholic priest sharing the lives of his parishioners. Set in war torn West Belfast in the 1960s and 70s, Clonard is loosely based on the author's real life experiences. Sometimes hilarious and sometimes sad, it is blue collar reality at its best. These heartfelt vignettes involve an eclectic bunch of characters of years gone by and are portrayed with humor and affection.-- Author's website.

What transpired over the next 10 days began with his first confession: “I can see moments in time, Angela.”
