Kevin Murphy Adventure/Fantasy Series Overview

The Kevin Murphy series targets young readers and those who are young at heart with its humor, interesting historical figures like Pirate Queen Grace O'Malley, modern day personages, sibling/family relationships, budding interest in girls, family heritage, mythology, strange creatures, legends, geography, and roots to the old country.

After St. Patrick drove the Father of Lies and the snakes from the surface of Ireland in 437 A.D., dragons, witches, ghosts, fairies, leprechauns, giants, druids, demons, and other beings from the dark side no longer roamed as freely in Ireland as they once did.  Their decline has reached such a point through the years that today almost no one recognizes the few that are left among us.  But the Father of Lies has a plan to change that, and his plan depends on his capture of Kevin Murphy's soul.  He will stop at nothing to accomplish that so he can again roam freely in Ireland.

This six-book series, which covers eighteen and a half months in Kevin Murphy's life beginning at the 2001 Longs Peak Scottish/Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park, Colorado, follows his adventures as he is chased through Ireland, the United States, Scotland, England, and Australia by the Father of Lies, his demons and other well known mythological creatures. The series ends with a final encounter near New Grange just north of Dublin.
