My book titled, "Green Is The Valley, Blue Are The Hills," is posted on the "Fethard At Home" website and can be read by all and in its entirety free of charge. The URL is http://fethard.com/crane I have also given a 50 minute presentation of my book at the Lansing Illinois Public Library on April 10, 2006 which has been recorded on podcast. A simple search of the title for my book on Yahoo will bring you to the podcast. Should anyone desire to listen to the podcast, that person will learn how or why my book was written and the process that I used in having my book published. I have also read a number of poems from my book and overall, this podcast has received many favorable comments. My book has also been published by the Higginson Book Company of Salem, Massachusetts and the publication date is 2005. Printed and bound copies of my book can be obtained directly from the Higginson Book Company or through Amazon.com

Briefly, I can tell you that my book tells the story of my search for my Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch roots and during the course of my search it becomes one of self discovery; that is the inner or mystical spirit that begins to emerge that directly affects my life and my manner of thinking. There are also 17 poems that I have written that highlight or give additional meaning or emotion to the text.

In matters of copyright, please be informed that I do own the copyright to all of the materials that are published in my book. Should someone seek to copy from or quote from my book all that I ask is that he or she kindly give me attribution for the work that I have written.

P.S. I would like to receive comments from interested parties regarding my posting. In other words, has anyone taken note of my posting or is it just floating out there somewhere in space? How can I receive feedback? Can anyone help me in this regard? I would greatly appreciate it if someone would help me to set up a comments section or panel. What is the process? Thank you.
