Of Other Days
"Of Other Days" is an account of a rural childhood spent in post World War II Ireland during the 1940's and 1950's. Portrayed against the backdrop of Tara, Navan, and The Boyne Valley, the author relates his recollections of growing up in County Meath, Ireland during an age of relative innocence and simplicity. Comprised of 85 tales of varying lengths, the many different aspects of life in the Irish countryside during these years are explored in detail, reflecting an Ireland which now, just over half a century later in the new millennium, has well and truly vanished. Originally available locally and launched in County Meath in a limited signed numbered edition of 200 copies, "Of Other Days" is now also available in this second edition. Written by Anthony Holten, edited and designed by John A. Holten.

The Search for Tara
The ""Search for Tara"" is an intiguing and relatively modern tale of two young Americans, Linda Ryan and Joseph Garcia, who travel around Ireland on a quest inspired by Linda's grandmother. Though romantic, and very personal in it's first-person and introspective telling by Linda, a fair amount of Irish history and culture are woven in seamlessly along the way. At times in the story, however, Linda's and Joseph's own differing cultural and familial backgrounds collide with their budding romance. That is a conflict not entirely resolved in the story even into the last chapter. Then comes a unexpected but solidifying twist (no peeking allowed!).
