'Beyond Uncommon Boundaries' is the second volume of richly
collected imagery that invites readers into the poet, storyteller
and songwriter's life's journey - her evocative thoughts and
imagination leads you through different landscapes and boundaries.
Felly van Vliet is back in Holland and planning her wedding with
fiance, Kieran McNeela, now settled in and working as junior
partner in a small Leiden law firm after graduating UvA and passing
the Bar. While browsing through an old book at a second-hand
book-store, Felly comes across a note that reads as a confession of
a murder committed during a Dutch student revolt in the 1970's.
Felly picks up on this cold case, which again takes her overseas,
this time to the USA. Unravelling the murder turns into a
tantalizing search, unearthing some deeply buried family secrets.
Last in the series and sequel to "Death by Chopstick", "The
Poisoned Tree" is a fun and suspenseful read!
In the sequel to "Murder On The Rocks!" Felly leaves Ireland and
revisits China. A freak accident in a plane crash sets off a
cascade of experiences in the swiftly developing East, where so
much has changed in the four years since her last stay. When a
colleague dies in a suspicious chemistry lab fire, she realises
that something is amiss in a country where the past has not quite
merged with its dynamic future. Felly gets an insight into this age
old culture while immersing herself in a setting of warm, humorous
characters and their dark counterparts.
For all of you who have loved and learned and are still lighting
candles rather than cursing the darkness.... Shers Gallagher brings
a simple joie de vivre - joy for life - by drawing on her lovely
muse and weaving together a fine collection of stories and poetic
thoughts.
It's Felly van Vliet's inquisitive nature that involves her in the
unravelling of a double murder, and she finds herself under the
spell of a colourful set of locals as she tries to make sense of it
all. Crime, romance, a taste of culture and character of native
Ireland are woven throughout this fun and enjoyable read. Good
craic! Murder On The Rocks! is also available at a discount price

Boulder Blues brings you back to the era of sex, drugs and
rock'n'roll. Its madness is exposed in a naive twist of two
musicians from Irish immigrant backgrounds who struggle through the
nightmare of a political war and countrywide civil unrest as they
try to make sense of a world beyond the American Dream of their
parents and grandparents. Sweet, poignant, laughable and pithy, it
catches a time once labeled as a 'Modern Renaissance'.
A fairytale story and cleverly designed plot that is full of
symbolism having to do with the Russian soul and nature. It's a
nice, relaxing read with beautiful language and descriptions of the
Russian folkways. The Russian-Afghanistan war is mentioned as a
gross afterthought, but not too heavily so as to distract the
reader from the main story about a Russian girl coming of age and
losing her English expatriate father in Egypt. Even the hardships
of the Russian poor and the father's imprisonment are crafted so as
to present a glimpse of present social situations without being
overdone. All in all, it's a lovely tale with strong characters
that give the reader a taste of Eastern life, its joys and its
difficulties.
