A girl arrives from London. She comes out of the station door and walks along by the sea in an ordinary town, an ordinary English seaside town. Then she rents herself a flat in an ordinary street, a street by the name of Canada Grove.
But it’s not in Canada, it’s in Bognor Regis in Sussex. And why is she there? The answer is in The Colour of Her Eyes, this much acclaimed story of crime, suspense...and love. Click video alongside to see where the story takes place. (And watch to the end, video stops right outside the girl’s house !)
...a series of interviews with leading figures in Irish life, politicians, media folk, celebrity people, whoever. Short and to the point. A new interview will appear each week...(more or less). Hit the INTERVIEW button above for the latest.
...a new novel by Conan Kennedy. But not like anything he’s ever written before... which, ok, could be either good or bad. Specifically created for the digital age, it will never appear in print...because it can’t. Interactive, it allows the reader to participate, wander about, comment and make suggestions. Apart from that it’s a regular old love and mystery story, getting darker by the minute. It takes place along the modern Irish migrant trail of Dublin-Sydney-Toronto. (There’s action in County Offaly too. And Country Music.). The book is presented in part work format, one chapter appearing per week ...but of course if you come in late you can access the chapters you’ve missed. The ONLINE FICTION button above is your entry point to this adventure.
...a well-known column in The Irish Times up to recent years..but due to the decline/collapse/imminent bankruptcy of the print media it’s not there anymore and is now reinvented here for your digital platform. It deals with history and genealogy and mysterious old photographs and images. But is a lot more interesting than that sounds. Hit the CONNECTIONS button above to check it out.
A selection of Conan Kennedy’s work, fiction and non, some books free to download, some available to purchase in shops and/or as E books.
