Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Life Was Like Among Druids and High Kings tells the fascinating story of the coming of Christianity to the Irish and many other compelling tales of the daily lives of the men and women of Ireland from Celtic to Christian times. From contemporary accounts by travellers, church officials, and jurists, as well as from the legends and histories for which the Irish are so justly famous, come the stories of kings and thieves, farmers and monks, scholars and saints. Among them are the mighty Brian Boru, who defeated Irishmen and Vikings alike to become king of all Ireland; Saint Brigit, the daughter of a druid, who put her eye out rather than marry, and Dermot Mac Murrough, who, by asking for the assistance of Henry II in regaining his kingdom, opened the door to England's future involvement in Ireland's affairs.

Maire, Gleannmara's warrior queen, finds her fierce heart is gentled when she takes a reformed mercenary -- a Christian, no less -- as hostage during a raid. At first she wonders what kind of God would make a fine warrior like Rowan of Emerys such a coward. But as she comes to know Rowan and witnesses the force of his beliefs, she learns that meekness and humility to the one true God are stronger than any blade of steel. And in the process, Maire discovers the transforming power of love and faith.

Quinn stumbles his way into mysterious secrets in his Irish bloodline, a high-tech cartel of rare book thieves, and a life changing experience with family friendly spirits. His unintended discoveries and the unique manuscript he possesses make him an unwitting target of both visible and invisible forces. Could Quinn be the incarnation of the medieval author of the old text he found, or merely another newly inspired author with a tale no one can believe?
