About Time - the cover story!
Thanks to my wife Clare Greene (www.claregreene.com) for the great cover art for my first book "About Time".
It is particularly apt as there is a chapter where Louise and her erstwhile lover undertake to model in the nude for a class of art students. What a happy coincidence!
The Island the cover story!
This shot of a seagull was taken on a trip to Schelig Michael, the island that was the metaphysical inspiration for the philosophical novel "The Island".
Great feeling of freedom to the shot.
New Irish Philosophical Novel
There has been some recent debate in the Irish media about the role of modern Irish writing particularly criticizing it for not addressing modern Irish paradigms.
Well here at last is a modern Irish philosophical novel - "The Island" - available from www.amazon.com as of this week.
This novel ignores the long tradition of Catholic-laden Irish experience and seeks to look forward with confidence in an emerging Irish philosophical voice.
Unlike the spiritual metaphysics of the late John Moriarty, this novel sees the world of the philosophy of science as the basis for a new ontological reality.

Arts Recession
In tough times the easiest decision to make is to cut out discretionary spending on the arts - whether it is attending live performances of theatre or music or those too rare purchases of works that have struck a chord somewhere.
Yet it is the arts that helps us transcend the mundane bleakness of our economic woes. The relative cost/value of the arts is not measurable on the vulgar scales that weigh our monetary values.
In these times of penury, art is the best investment for the soul.
