Colourful, charismatic, loyal, hard-working, controversial - these are some of the words people have used to describe politician and businessman Dan Kiely. But who is the real man? Dan's achievements have been dissected in the pages of The Irish Examiner, The Phoenix, and The Kerryman, but which account is true? A close confidant of former taoisigh Charles Haughey and Bertie Ahern, readers will be shocked and amused by his insights into the inner workings of power. From a scoop into the resignation of Minister for Justice Seán Doherty, to a very personal account of Ireland's Machiavellian political culture, The Final Count is a hard-hitting memoir. Emigrating to the United States at the tender age of seventeen, Dan Kiely became the youngest ever holder of a nightclub license in New York state, managing the lively 'Red Mill'. Acts like Joe Dolan, 'Big Tom' McBride and rock n' roll legend Roy Orbison would perform in ballrooms managed by Kiely in Dublin, Youghal, Tralee and Ballybunion. The Final Count's rare glimpse into how the Irish senator managed the stars is not to be missed. As a senator, Kiely would distinguish himself as a champion of Irish immigrants. The story of how he personally delivered 15,000 visa applications to a centre in Virginia will both delight and shock readers. Dismissed as a 'whippersnapper from Kerry' by the press, this book presents Dan Kiely's own version of his political life. Co-written with publisher and former journalist Jeremy Murphy, The Final Count provides a very personal account of a life that was often under the media spotlight. Unlike the memoirs of so many of his rivals, Dan Kiely's ends in triumph, on the steps of the Irish Supreme Court.

In his debut book, artist and author Harris Momodu's message is how we can use our dreams to instigate positive change and accelerate personal growth. Based on his own personal experiences and battles, the book documents, in dreamy, philosophical prose, how dreams are central to the evolution of humanity. Readers will discover how dreams are extensions of our thoughts and feelings, expressed in a pseudo-reality, and how we can reprogram our whole way of being by exploring our dreams. Our perceptions and belief systems mould the 'original reality', allowing us to frame it according to whatever themes, plays and timelines we need for our life stories. The original reality, however, stays pure and untouched, the core source from which other temporary realities can be superimposed and experienced. The conscious human being is partially an automaton, through it's sub-conscious mind, the part of it that is unable to differentiate one reality from the other. It sees and registers it all as real experiences, so, therefore, it qualifies to be used for growth. Momodu uses the allegory of the student who dreamt about preparing for an exam the night before his or her teacher sprung a surprise quiz, and how she performed better than the student who had no preparation or readiness at all. For the author of The Power of Dreams, true reality consists of unconditional love.

The Atlantic Ocean separates Irish brothers Connor and Thomas Cork. As Connor walks the streets of London, and Thomas looks at the setting Texas sun, they are both haunted by a terrible event which has driven them apart forever.Early in the Second World War, Connor's son Pat, and Thomas' son Bill, leave for war-torn Europe. Neither young man knows that fighting on the same side but in a different uniform is his cousin. Both are shaped by events that permanently mark their fathers, of which they know nothing about.In this his debut novel Joseph Lane grapples with the enduring legacy of past deeds through a saga that spans several generations and several countries, while focused squarely on the destiny of one, Ireland. Through Bill and Patrick Cork, whose military action takes them from the infantry to Special Forces, Lane shows how we are marked by our fathers' sins, even if we should never be judged by them. In Charles Lewis, readers see how a victim of political violence can recover and channel his anger into something good. Through the frightening figure of Oppenheim, Lane explores an age-old and still relevant moral dilemma; does the end justify the means?Red, White and Green is ultimately a story of redemption, how good can triumph only when we have the courage to face the past.

Mike has it all. He is the manager of a large company, is very successful and has a good life with a lovely family. And yet, something is missing. Despite all he has going for him, he doesn't feel happy. Nor do his people appear very happy despite all his efforts to build a strong organisation that will ensure they will continue to have work and decent rewards for doing that work. He has an exemplary management team who are reliable and committed, but despite that, he is puzzled about why the same problems seem to keep reoccurring and why he has to be involved so often in resolving them. And, on top of that, there are increasing tensions with his own boss, Martha, and with the Corporate Operations Director, who wants more control in the business than Mike is allowing them.The Courage to Be True is, as the author acknowledges in the book's preface, not a 'true story', but Mike is 'true' in so far as he symbolises so many Mikes: committed leaders who have hit the brick wall of out-of-date management philosophies. Doing their best but without appropriate results or returns. While ostensibly a work of fiction, the Courage to Be True is interweaved with insightful messages, powerful models, interesting quotes and provocative questions.This unique book is essential reading for anyone interested in culture change, leadership development, people management and organisational success. It is also for anyone who has ever asked themselves, 'How can I be true to myself and my values and still deliver for my organisation?'The book's underlying message is something Smyth finds rooted in the great traditions, and something he draws from his own experience as a manager and leadership coach: Trust, let go, live and encourage life, and the truth will set you free.

Through My Eyes is a richly allegorical and viscerally personal collection poetry on illness, survival and the transcending power of love.
