This book describes how a person at any age can be whatever they want to be. I’ve done it under very difficult conditions, and you can do it too at any age. I want my readers to benefit from some of the types of experiences that I have had. The book discusses what really matters in life, nothing happens by accident, unexplainable experiences, communicating with the dead, my life experiences, prayer and meditation, ways to be happier and healthier, and the power of prayer. My life has gone from rag to riches, and it continues to get better and better. I started working every day of the year from seven years old until I graduated from high school. From those savings I was able to begin my college career. We had to live on my mother’s minimum wage job to support our entire family. I worked my way through college while receiving three advanced university degrees.

In January 2000, Illinois Governor George Ryan declared a moratorium on executions—the first such action by any governor in the history of the United States. Despite a long history as a death penalty proponent, Ryan was emotionally moved after allowing an execution in 1999. He was also profoundly disturbed by the state’s history—12 men had been executed and 13 had been exonerated since the return of the death penalty in Illinois in 1977. More had been proven innocent than had been executed. Three years later, in 2003, Ryan pardoned four death row inmates based on their actual innocence and then commuted the death sentences of 167 men and women. This was the largest death row commutatio...

In The Studio With Rock Legends Thin Lizzy January 2016 sees the 30th anniversary of the death of Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy’s charismatic frontman, who was also a much underrated songwriter.

Lizzy fan Alan Byrne rectifies the omission with this timely album-by-album account of how the records got made (or nearly didn’t in some cases!), using original interviews with many of the musicians, producers, friends and even the photographers who shot the pictures for the covers. No stone is left unturned in this exhaustive book, which will make it a must read ...
