Born in Limerick, Kevin has lived in many places, including Cork, Santa Barbara, Barcelona, and Liverpool. Recent years have, however, seen him settle in Sligo, where he has purchased and renovated a former police station. He is driven by enormous creative energy though he disarmingly refers to himself as a “raving egomaniac.” Barry’s most recent novel Beatlebone imagines John Lennon’s journey to an island he owns in Ireland, his battles with creative block, primal scream therapy, and his new album, the eponymous Beatlebone. “My initial spark of inspiration is always place.

  • The Bondman Hall Caine
    The Bondman Hall Caine CHAPTER I. STEPHEN ORRY, SEAMAN, OF STAPPEN. In the latter years of last century, H. Jorgen Jorgensen was Governor-General of Iceland. He was a Dane, born in Copenhagen, apprenticed to the sea on board an English trader, afterwards employed as a petty officer in the British navy, and some time in the command of a Danish privateer in an Alliance of Denmark and France against England. A rover, a schemer, a shrewd man of affairs, who was honest by way of interest, just by policy, generous by strategy, and who never suffered his conscience, which was not a good one, to get the better of him. In one of his adventures he had sailed a Welsh brig from Liverpool to Reykjavik. This had been his introduction to the Icelandic capital, then a little, hungry, creeping settlement, with its face towards America and its wooden feet in the sea. It had also been his introduction to the household of the Welsh merchant, who had a wharf by the old Canning basin at Liverpool, a counting-house behind his residence in Wolstenholme Square, and a daughter of five and twenty. Jorgen, by his own proposal, was to barter English produce for Icelandic tallow. On his first voyage he took out a hundred tons of salt, and brought back a heavy cargo of lava for ballast. On his second voyage he took out the Welshman's daughter as his wife, and did not again trouble to send home an empty ship. He had learned that mischief was once more brewing between England and Denmark, had violated his English letters of marque and run into Copenhagen, induced the authorities there, on the strength of his knowledge of English affairs, to appoint him to the Governor- Generalship of Iceland (then vacant) at a salary of four hundred pounds a year, and landed at Reykjavik with the Icelandic flag, of the white falcon on the blue ground--the banner of the Vikings--at the masthead of his father-in-law's Welsh brig.
