The Volunteer

“O’Doherty gives a graphic account of the making of an IRA man. Perhaps the book’s greatest strength, and no doubt the feature that, as O’Doherty predicts, will irritate, is the emotional tone in which the story is told. He tells it how he saw and felt it at the time. When he is a stubborn, impetuous youth, he recounts as a stubborn, impetuous youth. When he is a blinkered perpetrator of callous violence, he recounts as a blinkered perpetrator of callous violence. When he becomes an older-but-wiser committed pacifist, the tone shifts yet again to reflect that incarnation.

Under Arrest

Tom Parks

Under Arrest by Tom Parks is a true story of a young rebel who gets arrested and ends up behind bars. It tells of the 10 months out of the author’s life and 10 months where he witnessed just how cruel people could be to each other. More a nuisance rather than a proper thug, this is an insight into the young, mis-guided mind. The law-abiding general public never see the inside of a prison cell, receive a prison sentence, or be on the wrong side of the law. Harrowing and emotionally stark in places, perhaps that public should know …

Migel Jayasinghe

Solace in Verse was penned by the author in the last few years after he retired and while living in Costa Blanca, Spain.

There is nothing in the world that affects us more than the death of a loved one, especially a child. Stephanie Cole found that out first hand when her unborn daughter died unexpectedly one week after her due date. Stephanie stumbled through the death of her daughter, using creative expression as a tool to navigate her way though the darkness. This book is a collection of the writings and artwork that she created in response to her loss. "Still. is the poignant exposition of the reality that besets more than 25,000 pregnant families each year in the US. Stephanie Cole’s portrayal of the year following Madeline’s death is vivid and stark, and speaks to the disbelief and emptiness of the 50% of parents who never discover why their unborn baby died. Stephanie’s year deprived of an infant is illustrative of the challenge families and those who care for them face when experiencing the loss of an unborn child. Each child is a special chapter in every family’s life, even if that chapter is but a few, heartbreaking pages of limited memories. Still. is important reading for those who experience pregnancy loss. Perhaps it is more important reading for those who have not shared the experience but wish to understand." Dr. John J. Botti, Maternal-Fetal Medicine "Stephanie’s honesty and candor are refreshing in a society that wants everything, even mourning, wrapped up in some sort of neat package. She allows us to walk her path with her, acknowledging that everyone’s journey will be unique and that we will eventually accept what will become our new normal." Beth Gauthier, Mother to Mark (stillborn, Feb 2007) "Stephanie writes from a place of honesty and raw emotion. Throughout her writing she weaves the dreams she and her husband had for their precious daughter Madeline. Her words help the reader understand the depth of pain felt by parents who experience the death of a much loved and hoped for baby. A great read for any professional who wants to gain a better understanding of the emotions and feelings of a grieving parent." Chaplain Carolanne Hauck, Bereavement Coordinator.
