Meet Rosie Red, the girl with the Flaming Red Hair as she skips, hopidy, hops through her fun-filled life. Every day is just one big adventure after another! This illustrated short story book is my tribute to children born with red hair, who like me, make up only 2% of the world's population. It is a celebration of a child's diversity captured in a colourful, vibrant picture book for girls. The story unfolds around Grandma, Rosie's patient older sister, her trickster little brother, fun parents, her exasperated teacher and friends who first stare at her and are then won over by her fun, charm and zest for life. The Girl with the Flaming Red Hair is an enjoyable children's rhyme book - a story of a little girl and her life experiences and day to day activities expressed in verse. It will appeal to children who enjoy rhyme books by Julia Donaldson and Rachel Bright and the occasional nursery rhyme. This would make an excellent starter book for early readers. At the same time, toddlers, kindergarten and preschool children can use this book for early learning as it provides a repeating word pattern which helps children, who are only just beginning to learn to read, discover themselves and the relationships with those around them. It also includes fun facts about Red Hair and is perfect for children two years and older.

"Someone please help me." Those were the words that I screamed inside my head as I rolled on the floor of my rented box room in the city.What happened afterward changed everything.Without even realising it at the time, I was saved. I was not meant to leave this life just yet. I had been spoken to and helped but not by any physical person. A realization set it. It was my decision, my free will to stay on this Earth and make it the best life possible.Writing has brought up huge pain and sadness but also a freedom to express what I had kept inside for so long. We fool ourselves by believing we have dealt with everything in the past, it just can't be talked out of us, or masked by prescription drugs. It is part of who we are made up of, it is up to us how we choose to see it and feel it from this moment on.This is my journey.I invite you to share that journey with me and hope in some small way it will open your heart just a little to the beauty of the Divine Energy that we all are.

In Limerick, the workers and their representatives take over running the city and their action is declared a 'Soviet'. The British authorities see it as a serious threat to their rule in Ireland. The workers are protesting against a severe military law that requires them to get special passes and be checked going to and from work. The restrictions follow the IRA shooting of a policeman and the wounding of another during the rescue of an ill Republican prisoner from a local hospital. He, too, is wounded and dies.The workers control every aspect of life - production and distribution of food, opening and closing of shops, prices and transport. They publish their own newspaper and - uniquely - issue their own currency. Newspapers and newsreels across the world report on the events. Their initial success is built on a local alliance of Socialist, Republican and trade union forces, with the tacit support of the Catholic clergy. However, when the workers seek a general strike, the national leaderships of these disparate groups are opposed and abandon them. The outcome locally is an honourable draw and the militant spirit of Limerick's women and men inspires more than a hundred other soviets across Ireland in the revolutionary years 1919 to 1923.

A Guide to WELLBEING from the inside out is a practical, how-to guide. It identifies challenges to personal effectiveness and offers suggestions on how to address and overcome those that inhibit the full expression of who we could become. It touches on cutting edge science, the body-mind connection, improving relationships, assertiveness and becoming a DIY coach among others - all skills that can be learned to increase self-efficacy - and which only can happen when we take charge of our internal processes.Based on Siegel's 'Triangle of Well-being' of Brain, Mind and Relationships, it explores the subject using well-researched psychological principals in tandem with practical applications. Everyday habits, beliefs and behaviours are described in ways that will help readers understand what lies beneath the surface of who they are. Like a good forensic detective, the how and why of what makes us who we are is examined to provide clues for identifying and tracking growth points to personal change - one step, one insight, one revelation at a time.

This novel is based on a true story about the fate of a family of wealthy Jews trapped in Poland during World War 2. Miriam, a privileged and educated woman from a middle-class family, entered into an arranged marriage in 1919. Their family life was undermined by Otto's long-term affair with his business partner's wife, which resulted in the birth of two illegitimate children. Miriam, who knew of the affair, but not the paternity, chose to remain in the marriage, in order to enjoy the luxuries of their lifestyle, and for their three children to whom she was devoted.When war broke out, Miriam and Otto were effectively living apart, and against her better judgement, Miriam agreed to Otto's demand that she return from a trip to France to their home in Krakow. Within a week, Poland was invaded by Hitler's forces, and soon after by Stalin's.Miriam and her young daughter, Anna, left Krakow 24 hours before the Nazis arrived, but was caught between the German and Soviet forces as they divided Poland. Settling in Russian occupied Lwow, they learned to live a hand to mouth existence. In 1941, when Hitler declared war on Russia and as his forces were about to overwhelm Lwow, Miriam was saved by an SS Officer, an old friend from Vienna.

Father Sean Hyland was a husband, father and a successful businessman before a late vocation brought him to the priesthood. He entered a seminary at a time when religion appeared to be declining at an alarming rate, with the Catholic church in crisis and with people too busy with "busyness" to think of God and the Divine.Sean heartily rejects assumptions that religion is disappearing in modern day life with his new book "Whisperings of My Soul." He begins by reflecting on his earlier life as a husband and father of two children who were so cruelly taken in their early years. He tells of his heartache as he also lost his wife and soulmate whom he adored. Always deeply religious, no one would blame Sean for questioning the existence of God after his terrible personal losses. Yet, consumed with grief and at the lowest ebb in his life, Sean received wonderful consolations through his wife and children from God. As a result, his faith in God's love and mercy was renewed and deepened, and he now has an unwavering belief that our loved ones are aware of our everyday events and watch over us.The book has three distinct but complementary parts with Part One focusing on Sean's personal story and his journey from husband and father to the priesthood. Parts two and three focus on what he believes to be overwhelming and undeniable evidence, including scientific evidence, which proves the existence of God and how He reveals Himself in our world.Father Sean asks some bold questions like "Can 5.8 billion people be wrong?" and "Is science proving the existence of God?" He also explores a number of miracles which despite modern investigations, remain inexplicable to scientific and natural laws. He says these miracles remind us that nothing is impossible when it comes to God. About his book, Sean says: "When I reached the lowest ebb of my life, experiencing devastating loss and grief, I called out to God and discovered that He was there for me. I believe the various consolations of faith I have received have been sent to me as assurances of God's love and mercy and that our loved ones are aware of our everyday events and are watching over us too."It is my fervent hope in writing this book is that my words reach other troubled people who need the love and support of Jesus and his Blessed Mother."I want people to know how close they are and how they will comfort anyone who asks for help."

"Pete Duffy, the natural heir to John B. Keane and Frank O' Connor and the people's poet, completes his trilogy in magnificent style with Life is a Winding Journey. Full of humour and pathos, and packed with zany and compulsively readable characters, these stories will provide mind-trips to anyone of a certain age, while younger readers will find no better flavour of the city anywhere in all of literature. The musicians' ear, is as usual fully employed, and the voice within these tales is rough-hewn and condensed. In bringing Cork's bygone era to bristling and visceral life, Pete Duffy has produced one of the year's undeniable must-reads. A treasure!"
