Welcome!
About That DAMNED IRISHMAN After Sean’s father and uncle are killed by British soldiers, he and his family escape from Ireland to the United States where he takes a job on the docks. Moving into the liquor distribution business, he builds wealth which he uses to gain power and position in banking and finance. THAT DAMNED IRISHMAN is the second book after The AMBASSADOR, continuing the lives of many of the characters. The third novel, MERC, is about Sean's son. The last book in this series is The SACRED LAND. | From the author, Phil Edwards Being of English, Scots and Irish descent, I'm probably distantly related to people in all three countries. However, my sympathies lie with the Irish, who suffered under the English occupation forces as did the Scots in earlier years. I’m sure these feelings are evident in my writing of THAT DAMNED IRISHMAN, as the main character leaves Ireland and comes to the United States as an immigrant, working and fighting his way to success.  |
