Dear Mr. Mark Mahon, I just received your wonderful Brian Boru - Freedom Within The Heart, all the way from Ireland! Wondeful! With a note too. I've read the first chapter. What made you write this about this particular historical person? As a child did you hear of his legend? Was there something about the land that spoke Brian Boru's essence wanting to be known? I remain, Sincerely, Norma Iris

Mark Mahon Thank you. I've always been very proud of Ireland and indeed, our rich history. I heard about Brian Boru as a child in school and was immediately draw…moreThank you. I've always been very proud of Ireland and indeed, our rich history. I heard about Brian Boru as a child in school and was immediately drawn to his story because of his struggles against foreign oppression. Upon further exploration, I found that the historical facts surrounding him were very vague and of course, as a writer I loved this because it allowed me to give my own interpretation of his journey.(less)

Dear Mark Mahon, When I received your wonderful Brian Boru - Freedom Within The Heart, I realized it arrived a few weeks before St. Patrick's Day! So, do you plan on doing a reading of Brian Boru - Freedom Within The Heart at home, in Ireland? I remain, Sincerely, Norma Iris

Mark Mahon I'm back in Ireland but have no readings planned.

Hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day.
