This work is a distinctive, multidisciplinary encyclopedia covering the cultural, political, economic, musical, and literary impact that Ireland and the nations of the Americas have had on one another since the time of Brendan the Navigator. Ireland and the Americas: Culture, Politics, and History aims to broaden the traditional notion of 'Irish-American' beyond Boston, New York, and Chicago. In additional to full coverage of Irish culture in those settings, it reveals the pervasive Irish influence in everything from the settling of the American West, to the spread of Christianity throughout the hemisphere, to Irish involvement in revolutionary movements from the American colonies to Mexico to South America. In addition, the encyclopedia shows the profound impact of Irish Americans on their homeland, in everything from art and literature informed by the emigrant experience, to efforts by Irish Americans to influence Irish politics. Ranging from colonial times to the present, and informed by the surge of academic interest in the past 30 years, Ireland and the Americas is the definitive resource on the profound ties that bind the cultures of Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Latin America.

Against a Blackened Sky, the story of one man's falling-out with organized religion, is told by a future observer whose knowledge of history is incomplete. Without sanctioned access to historical accounts, the storyteller has pieced together an explanation of man's predicament that seems plausible to him. His problem is that he cannot accomplish in his own life the virtues that he admires in the subject of his story. In his partial understanding, he looks back longingly to a time he feels to be simpler than the complex world he lives in. The storyteller is a member of the crew who man a lunar-based laser. The subject of his narrative, Colonel Smith, was a member of the pioneering crew who laid the foundation for the establishment of that base. In Colonel Smith's day, a world now past, satellite technology became obsolete. The need for a moon-based laser became desperate in the pursuit of peace and security. Through a series of mishaps, Colonel Smith is marooned alone on the moon and must endure a year of solitude. It is during that time that he is able to rethink and ultimately to redirect his life. When at last he is rescued, he returns to an Earth that will be profoundly affected by the work he helped to begin on the moon. In a world of tightening alternatives, man has not lost his battle with technology but rather has surrendered to it. It is the storyteller's lament that man has given up without a struggle. Should the story of the teller and of his subject seem ill-fated and harshness and gloom seem to hang over the tragedy of their lives, it is only because the message of hope has been missed. The door has been opened, and we have stepped through, but the door has not closed behind us. We might yet step back through, close that door from the other side, and find another opened to us. Amazing grace.

Tim Scarsdale is a mild-mannered accountant, but his life is changed in a big way when he is the victim of a vampire attack. Left to die, Tim wakes to discover that he has been accidentally turned into a vampire. Without his attacker going through the proper planning and preparation, though, Tim becomes a vampire without any supernatural abilities. Desperate to track down the vampire that turned him so that he can convince her to finish the process, he turns to a craigslist ad (you can find anything on Craigslist) for a Professional Vampire Hunter, Rob, to help him track down the wandering vampire. Tim and Rob hit the road together to track down the vampire that turned Tim. As unlikely as it seems, the vampire hunter and the vampire develop a friendship, albeit one that is constantly on shaky ground as Tim tries to keep his vampire status a secret.

Ralphie Meets the Queen By: Susan Pokorny A charming story of a puppy who discovers the Queen’s love of corgis, and decides to meet the lady in question. Ralphie doesn’t realize he faces a trip of over three thousand miles from the USA to achieve this. Nor that he’ll need to get on an aeroplane, which is no surprise given that he doesn’t know what an aeroplane is. Helped by various friends that he makes along the way, our intrepid corgi makes his adventure-filled journey across the Atlantic. He meets some amazing characters such as the ‘aristocratic’ Sylvester who is bound for England ‘for some tiresome cat show, I’ve won every year so far. You would think that they could just post me the trophy instead…’ The book is full of humour and many touching moments, from Ralphie’s sad parting with his mother to seeing a petite lady standing beside a pond outside a huge palace…
