Two e-books online
I now have two e-books online, available in several formats at Smashwords.
The Body Coat
This novel follows the efforts of a young woman to redeem herself from the pain and stigma of her abusive past. Set in Ireland of the 1990s, a time of economic recession and social change, the story juxtaposes old beliefs with 'New Age' philosophies, rural traditions with urban development, harsh personal issues with psychic explorations. Other characters come to terms with their own cravings and self-delusions in the shadow of Jacqui Byrnes' headlong plunge into the unknowable. The notion of the changeling is central, but is brought into a real, modern world.

The Coal-black Sea
Set in Dublin and spanning a time period from 1976 to 1999, The Coal-black Sea is a novel of violence, frustration, introspection, and illusory desire. Driven by a need to understand the meanings of minutiae, and obsessed by her every feeling, Joan Fey finds herself abusive and moral in a painfully confused mix. She commits culpable acts, but in the absence of a witness, who will be her judge and jury?
