　　Dear Reader;

　　It pleases me to share my twenty year labor of love in these sequels. While researching my family history, I intellectually traveled for 10 years throughout Ireland, England, France, and America gathering vignettes, between 1745 and 1985. I spent the last ten years writing these hundreds of vignettes into five fictional novels. Being an accomplished photographer, I have taken photos of many of the places referred to in my novels.

　　The first three novels take us through barrooms and bedchambers, showing their characters? virtues and blemishes as they fight in bloody battles, sail the high seas, struggle against raging hormones, and give full reign to their most passionate impulses. Babies are born; sons and mothers die; virginal lasses become lustful lovers. Legacies as well as journals are handed down, revealing much about these men and women who lived their lives to the fullest.

　　My last visit to Europe was April, 1970. My last visit to England and Scotland was brief. My last visit to Ireland and was the month of May, 2001, touring every county by automobile?visiting churches and cemeteries, pubs and museums, towns, streets and villages where my family lived, worked and died.

　　Though the names, time periods, and places are factual...the characters are the product of my imagination, based solely on my mothers reminiscences, faucets of my friends and family members personalities. Happy Reading, Ed
