Below is a ballad composed by one of our authors, Stephen A. Carter, for the Galway Sailing Club located in Galway, Ireland.
Stephen is also the author of the four‑book Matari Series, a fact‑driven historical fiction saga that explores the U.S. Civil War and highlights the pivotal contributions of Black Americans to the conflict.
THE GALWAY HOOKER
Sleek fishing boat, red sails full blown
In foaming wake she cruised alone.
Upon her deck a lad did sway,
Kept looking back across the bay.
From Claddagh town his tearful bride,
Upon a dock stood tall and cried.
White hanky danced upon the wind,
As em’rald eyes upon him pinned.
To starboard bow Clare Hills rose high,
Through spray the hooker scudded by.
All sails lay taut before the blast,
Aboard a groom clung to a mast.
The Galway hooker flew away,
Across North Sound that fateful day.
From Inishmore to Rossavail,
That night o’er surf heard widows wail.
At dawn a body washed ashore,
Found by a pregnant paramour.
Today her ghost still haunts the scene,
And in the wind one hears her keen.
Refrain:
A Galway hooker sailed away,
And took her love across the bay.
A widow waits upon the shore.
Will she be pining evermore?

By Ron Rhody
Haunted by a murder he committed in the shadow of the State Capitol and depressed by the death of his best friend, Theodore O’Hara Clark, a prominent political columnist, abandons his career and runs, hoping to shake his demons and shred his depression.
He is succeeding until the unexpected death of his mentor forces him back to the scene of the crime. When he arrives he finds she has left him a fortune. But she has also set him the task of protecting her empire.
To do that, he’ll have to be something he doesn’t know how to be and doesn’t want to be. And confront the demons he ran from. And, in the process, face up to a long ago love.
A town and a newspaper figure prominently in this story. The action ranges from moonlit meadows in the Bluegrass of Kentucky to fog shrouded San Francisco Bay, from the canyons of Manhattan to the mountains of Appalachia and the snake handling cults that still thrive there.
“The characters are richly drawn. The action runs at a riveting pace. What happened When THEO Came Home is a helluva read and a fine, fine story.” - Ian Kellogg
When THEO Came Home is the concluding novel in the THEO Trilogy. The other books in the series are: THEO’s Story and THEO & The Mouthful of Ashes.
Also available as an ebook on Amazon's Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Nook, Sony ereader, tablets and PCs.
If you vote for Trump and his MAGA GOP members you may indirectly start World War III.
If Trump and his MAGA GOP take control of our Congress, they will cut off support for Ukraine. They already cut support on the advice of Trump when the Congress was ready to approve the spending bill with support for Ukraine.
What will happen next?
said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “This is supposed to be the party of conservative principles, of tradition, of respect for customs and rules that make society governable.
“The idea that the law does not apply to Republicans is something that has now become part of the mainstream of the Republican party. We see it in terms of the approach to elections. We see it in terms of the treatment of immigrants. Some of the actions with regard to abortion may approach that level. The Republican party appears to consider the law and the constitution to be optional and to have lost legitimacy.”

If you vote Republican you are supporting:

– You may lose a loved one, a relative or a friend in a train crash, a bridge collapse or a plane crash as Republicans strip funds from President Biden’s infrastructure bill.
