This Anthology is composed of short-stories, poetry and plays, most having an Irish Theme. Creating something

as wonderful as an anthology penned by great writers was an honor. Special thanks goes to all of the people

who submitted manuscripts and were chosen for publication by our Storylines Entertainment editorial board.

Special acknowledgment must go to Bill Leece, English educator extraordinaire.

Toward the end of this volume is a white paper on Writing a Bestselling Novel for Publication. This paper tells

all would-be authors how to write for the screen, stage, and online publication. Will your work be produced or

result in a bestselling novel? To answer the question, do what I do: put your bum in the seat, turn on your

computer and get started! That's all you have to do to see if you have what it takes! All my best wishes, Tom

Richards
