Author Dan Lawton Hopes ABOVE THE GROUND Can Create Space for Important Conversations Amidst Divisive Times
When Kevin Barry Artt was born, his mother had to give birth to him in a convent in a small town, out of sight of people who would be scandalized that a baby had a Protestant dad and a Catholic mother. If he'd died some years ago, he might have been buried in a cemetery in Ballymurphy that is said to have an underground wall, invisible from the surface, that divides Catholic dead from Protestant dead. The bigotry and absurdity of it seem … [Read more...]
Author Rod Sadler Describes the Charm and History of Mackinac Island, the Setting for GRIM PARADISE
It's a beautiful place. Michigan's Mackinac Island is considered the State's crown jewel. Thousands of tourists each year visit a place filled with Victorian charm. It's well warranted. There are no automobiles allowed on the Island. Modes of transportation consist of horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, or walking, and goods are transported to the stores by horse-drawn drays. As a tourist walks along the business district, the air is filled with … [Read more...]
Author Dan Lawton Calls Kevin Barry Artt’s Journey a ‘Metaphor for Northern Ireland Itself’
That Artt's adoptive parents named him after a revered Irish patriot, Kevin Barry, suggests that he, too, is a patriot and a freedom fighter-which, really, he isn't. He was an accidental hero. He didn't seek out the violence and abuse that the British poured onto him. He stumbled into them by accident. He didn't ask for the legal abuse that U.S. prosecutors Mark Zanides and Sara Criscitelli, a couple of modern-day Javerts, later laid onto … [Read more...]

“Space Cowboy” | Exploring Psychedelics, Self-Discovery, and the Philosophy of Existence with Jim Duke
My choice of coursework through college was even more random and wandering than the rest of my life. If I followed any sort of pattern at all, it would have been the alphabetical order of the class syllabus catalog, which might explain why I finally wound up with a degree in Zoology. I spent a good deal of time in the 'A' section, taking astronomy at University of Texas, largely so that I could check out the famous McDonald Observatory, which I … [Read more...]

Author Rod Sadler’s Journey to Mackinac Island Began With a Visit to the Father of a Serial Killer
It was an interesting trip. I traveled to Mackinac Island in the spring of 2021 to investigate the Island's only murder in modern times. It's a murder that remains unsolved to this day. I planned to stay at the same hotel where the victim, Frances Lacey, had stayed. I planned to walk the same route she walked and visit the murder scene. It would be a short trip but worthwhile. There was one thing I had to do first. I'd be passing Indian River, a … [Read more...]
