Exit Unicorns Series

Book 5 of the Exit Unicorns Series coming out March 17, 2020!

Book five of the Exit Unicorns series aka ‘Where Butterflies Dream’ should be out in early 2020. By early I mean in the spring, hopefully March but that date isn’t set in stone just yet as I have a lot of work still to do, and am not quite at the place where I can be certain to have it done for a particular date. But at some point in 2020 there will be a new book in the series. I get asked a lot if it’s the last one and the answer is that I don’t quite know yet. There’s still a lot of story to cover and I don’t know that I can cover it all in this book (which is nearing 700 manuscript pages at this point, with a fair bit of story still to tell). So, I’m not sure. If I do write a sixth book for the series, it will likely have more to do with the next generation. I do know how Butterflies ends (as I’ve written most of the ending) and I think readers will be satisfied whether I decide to move on to a sixth book or not.

So just a little more patience is required on your part, but you will have a new book at some point in 2020.

Book 1 | Exit Unicorns

In this sweeping and powerful epic the journey begins in the 'terrible beauty' of Northern Ireland during a time when conflict reigns and no one is spared from tragedy and sorrow, the time known as The Troubles.

It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed an ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl...

Book 2 | Mermaid in a Bowl of Tears

Casey and Pamela Riordan have fled the erupting violence of Belfast, Northern Ireland, only to find themselves tangled in the web of political corruption that permeates South Boston.

Here, a man's life can hang upon the whim of another, and neighborhood politics and organized crime are one and the same. While Pamela appears to flourish in the arena of Boston Irish society, Casey struggles to survive in a sphere where his presence has become increasingly inconvenient...

Book 3 | Flights of Angels

From the dark fairy tale forests of Russia...
