Ouroboros Thoughts EXTENDED EDITION is a four-part poetry collection that came about out of both a love for writing, and as a way to express emotions. PART ONE: "If I open myself up to write, and embrace my melancholy, I may excise it to some degree - For all to See." PART TWO: "Less purposefully, and without intention to let my heart see the light of day, this mania driven rambling now exposed - to then cut out the rot growing in that dark void." PART THREE: "And so, cast out by so much ire - I simmer down. Only to find the sun setting again. What madness is this, that it should fail to relent after such measures?" PART FOUR: "The sun has set, and now the moon may rise, soothing my burning soul until my fever calms. Now, to stand at the window and gaze upward through city lights to where my heart lives. Might I rest with ease at last?"-5 STAR REVIEWS SAY IT ALL: "Gut-wrenching and all encompassing""Captivating""From pain comes beauty""As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression, I can really relate to every word. I'm sure it took a lot of guts to put yourself out there in this first book, but each poem is like a small hug that says "you're not alone"."-Connect with the author at cladams.official@gmail.com

A sweeping novel of the time when the Holy Land was torn between the Crescent and the Cross. In this historical fiction set against the Crusades, the hero O'Neill, his sacrifice for the Arab girl he loves, and the treachery of the Knights Templar Grand Master, all play a part. Donn Byrne (Brian Oswald Donn-Byrne) was born in New York City. Shortly after his birth, however, his parents took him back to the land of his forefathers. There he was educated and came to know the people of whom he wrote so magically. At Dublin University his love for the Irish language and for a good fight won him many prizes, first as a writer in Gaelic and second as the University's lightweight boxing champion. After continuing his studies at the Sorbonne and the University of Leipzig, he returned to the United States, where, in 1911, he married and established a home in Brooklyn Heights. He earned his living, while trying to write short stories, as an editor of dictionaries. Soon his tales began to attract attention and he added to his collection of boxing prizes many others won in short-story contests. When Messer Marco Polo appeared in 1921 his reputation in the literary world was firmly established. Thereafter, whatever he wrote was hailed enthusiastically by his ever-growing public, until 1928, when his tragic death in an automobile accident cut short the career of one of America's best-loved story-tellers.
