The Long Voyage Home is an epic journey written in the manner of Irish writers and poets who have sung from the rocks of Dublin, struggled on the decks of seafaring ships and wept at the graves of comrades and in the alleys of tenaments. It seeks the grace of God and the friendship of angles, while always casting a fearing ear about for the "beast" that sometimes rips our dreams. The remarkable new work examines the struggle to balance our perceptions of memories, dreams and reality, good and evil, Heaven and Hell, while moving through a landscape of parents, jobs, lovers and friends. It invites you to come along. The author, Patrick Kelly, served as a Russian linguist in the U.S. Army, stationed in West Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. He received a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, where he also did graduate work in English literature.

In 1965, David, then a high-flying Oxford graduate, is recruited by Sir John Lockwood to help him look for a site for a new university in Ulster. But what seems like an interesting assignment turns into a tragedy not only for David but also for Catherine, the woman he falls in love with. The sectarian forces which would later tear Northern Ireland apart, are destined to destroy the relationship of the two lovers, with terrible consequences for them both.

Preserving a Legacy - K-State's Wrestling ProgramFor over 50 years, Kansas State University offered a wrestling program that became the state's flagship at the collegiate level. However, K-State wrestling has now been dormant for half a century. K-State's Wrestling Legacy gives readers a comprehensive look at the program's history and connects it to the sport's growth in the Sunflower State and its national influence."I competed against Kansas State during college. Sadly, the program was dropped, but wrestling fans in Kansas and nationwide will get a lot out of Pat Kelly's book. It is an entertaining and interesting read full of historical information not only about Kansas State and the sport of wrestling but also events and personalities that will motivate readers in their personal and professional lives."-Dan Gable, 1968 and 1969 NCAA Champion for Iowa State, 1972 Olympic Champion, coached the Iowa Hawkeyes to 15 NCAA titles, distinguished member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient"Patrick Kelly's penchant for wanting to know more is extremely evident in this book. As a wrestling historian, I understand the reaction to feeling like you don't know the answer. Now, when people ask about the history of Kansas State wrestling, people around the state and the country have a resource to not only learn, but to be able to re-tell the stories contained within. Wrestling is full of colorful and unique personalities and Patrick's delivered the stories and personalities with K-State wrestling's short, but interesting history to the community. It's one of those books you will read once but refer to it constantly in the future."-Jason Bryant, wrestling historian, award-winning journalist, public address announcer for numerous NCAA championships and the London, Rio, and Paris Olympics

Call Me Rick: Grace in the Middle by Patrick Kelly is more than a memoir-it's a lifeline for the unheard, the unseen, and the uncertain. Blending raw vulnerability with bold faith, Kelly offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant story that invites readers into a journey of identity, healing, and belonging. Written especially for those recovering from toxic faith, navigating life as a Deaf or disabled person, or simply feeling lost or unworthy, this book is a sacred reminder: you are not broken, and grace doesn't require perfection-it meets you where you are. Through stories of pain, resilience, and radical love, Kelly transforms silence into strength and struggle into sanctuary. This is not a neat tale of triumph, but a testament that even our deepest wounds can become holy ground.
