Testimonials

Having read it from cover to cover, I thoroughly enjoyed my Ramble through Dear Old Ballina, which I left 70 years ago at age of 15. It is a fitting companion to Dear Old Ballina, and I congratulate you on its style and content. I parted with my copy to an American cousin and his wife who visited recently. He already had Dear Old Ballina and was delighted to have its companion. Hence, please send me a signed copy. Every best wish, K.D., West Sussex, England.

    Stars reading On a Wing and a Prayer

    Music stars are reading On a Wing and a Prayer

    Apologies for lack of blogs and article uploads over recent months. My excuse is that I have been busy researching material for some books I am currently writing, and also in relation to On a Wing and a Prayer The Musical which I created from my book On a Wing and a Prayer. With Tommy Marren we wrote a musical version which proved a big hit and has so far raised over 200,000 euro for Mayo Roscommon Hospice. A DVD, shot on location, is also available. See www.hospice.ie

     

    Delighted to say that in recent weeks singing sensation Susan Boyle and Bono of U2 have each received a copy of the book which has proved to be a major success. It is about the life and times of a remarkable priest, Monsignor James Horan of Knock, Co Mayo. You can see Susan and Bono pictred at Ireland West Airport Knock,  Co Mayo, with the book on www.wingandprayermusical.com

    The book is beginning to attract a lot of attention in the US. Spread the good news!Meanwhile Mayo footballers have made it to the All-Ireland semi-final and play Kerry on Sunday in Croke Park, Dublin, so fingers crossed.

    All the best and keep well!

    Terry
