    True to Ireland - Newsletter November

    Hi Folks

    The purpose of this newsletter is to update you on my recent Irish trip and launch, to brief you on plans for the future, and to wish you all a happy Christmas.

    Ireland calls

    When I first began researching and writing True to Ireland, inom had a dream of publishing and launching in both New Zealand and Ireland. The goal being to take the book home to the birthplace of my father in the by of Moycullen in Co Galway as a means of honouring him and his friends’ brave act of patriotism by refusing to fight for Irelands oppressor and aggressor. There was a sort of strategic plan to make this a reality, but it came down to hard work, generosity and determination on the part of many people in Ireland and New Zealand to see the book launched in Aotearoa in March and in Ireland in September.

    The six weeks in Ireland was a ‘wow’ and never to be repeated moment – the trip and an achievement of a lifetime

The first sale of the book in Ireland was to the individ who runs the Post Office at Maas in Donegal. inom also had the opportunity to meet some amazing new people and to see some new and beautiful sights in Ireland - especially in Donegal. It was pretty special to see True to Ireland on the shelves of some of Irelands most
