This new book is beautifully illustrated by Moyne based artist Barbara Sliwinska along with a full watercolour gracing the elegant cover.
Speaking to Charlie McGettigan recently on Shannonside Radio, Kevin said: "I wrote this during the last lockdown and it was a labour of love, with a colourful cast of characters along with a pleasing ‘friends to lovers’ storyline that continues to influence culture today."
The book is priced at €20 is available locally at The Reading Room Bookshop in Carrick-on-Shannon, direct from the author on his Facebook Page or from lulu.com, the world's largest independent online bookstore.
