Review of: 'They Killed the Ice Cream Man'
Posted on September 4, 2016 at 6:00am 4 Comments 4 Likes
To say that truth is always the first casualty of war may be a cliché, but it never was more apt than when applied to the thirty years of Ireland’s most recent, painful and pointless ‘Troubles’ [1968-98]. Many grief-stricken…

In 2008, Radovan Karadžić, the ‘Butcher of Bosnia,’ was captured in Belgrade and went on to be convicted by an international tribunal, of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Heavily bearded and with his distinctively abundant white hair styled in a pony…

A Fathers' Day Gift for My Late Father
Posted on May 24, 2014 at 1:30am 7 Comments 3 Likes
So often do I hear my friends say: ‘I wish my father were here now to see/hear this’. Indeed many of us who have lost our parents find ourselves often, in our later years, thinking of them and wishing we could spend even half…

Hi, DJ.
Wanted to take a minute to welcome you here to The Wild Geese. It's a great little community which is blossoming into something big, little by little. Your book about the Black & Tans sounds fascinating. Great to have you here to add your perspectives.
Welcome aboard, DJ!

Thank you Gerry & Ryan. Delighted to be here. Been packing all day as am embarking on a mini book tour on Weds am, to Irish World Heritage Centre in Manchester UK and then on Friday to Dunlavin Arts Festival, Co Wicklow. Am off for some shuteye now, but will pop in again in the morning (UK time). Night all. :-D

Thanks for accepting Lucy. I see we both have a Mayo connection. My mother was a Lyons from Aughamore, near Ballyhaunis in East Mayo. I'm heading over there (for first time since I was 3 years old) in 4 weeks for a bit of a 'gathering' with all my cousins. I'm hoping also to get a feel for the place as I thought I might write a book based on the maternal ancestry. My father's side are Northern Irish (Belfast & Carrickfergus) and I've published 2 novels based on the paternal ancestors and am currently writing another. I'm Manchester born but much travelled and living these days in Buckinghamshire, where I set up Chalfont Writers' Circle. I also research and write little local history books for my local history group. Best wishes. Denise [DJ Kelly]

Thanks Denise. And congratulations on the success of Running with Crows, both in book form and as a play. It seems to be going from strength to strength.
