Pat Walsh

    This author draws upon her extensive background in archaeology, using it as a foundational element for her literary works. Her early years spent in Africa and Ireland, followed by settling in England, shaped her worldview. A childhood fascination with archaeology, initially sparked by a misunderstanding about dinosaurs, evolved into a deep appreciation for history and culture that informs her writing. Her previous career as an archaeological illustrator lends a unique visual and detail-oriented perspective to her narratives.

      Short Stories to Go: Book 1 consists of a collection of stories that can be appreciated in their entirety, in a single sitting, or enjoyed one story at a time. This trilogy was assembled from many years of random writings and the stories were selected more for their differences than for their similarities. The content addresses scenarios that range from the unfortunate to the unexpected and concludes with the impossible. This book begins with a fact- based dramatization of a tragic love story which owes its unfortunate outcome to the slow and untrustworthy word-of-mouth communications channels that prevailed in many parts of the world during the early 20th century. This emotional tale of love and loss is followed by a completely fictional account that encompasses a farm town's battle with Mother Nature, as viewed through the eyes of three young storm chasers who have been sponsored by a Canadian university. This exciting adventure leads into an entirely imaginative and enticing science fiction drama which hopefully leaves you, the reader, looking for more.

      ***Use you most mysterious voice while reading*** For centuries, young children have feared the alleged monster beneath their beds. Oh, the havoc those monstrous monsters have wreaked upon so many tired little tots. Well, it's time the tables are turned! Muwahahaha! Sorry, that was a bit much. Or was it not enough? I'll let you be the judge. In book one of the Monstrosity Curiosity duology (I double dog dare you to say that ten times fast- and be sure to check out book two What Do Monsters Eat & Drink?), humor author C.T. Walsh speculates about what young monsters' bedtimes looks like. And what's more- who are said monsters afraid of when the lights go out? You might be surprised. Or not. You might be a total genius and figure it out or perhaps you have monster blood coursing through your veins and when you close your eyes, your monster fears come to life and you know what haunts them. If that's the case, you should probably get that checked out, but if you are still quite unsure, it's time we figure out this Monstrosity Curiosity and put this monster mystery to bed...if you dare. Muwahahaha!

      The Great Calamity that engulfed the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire raises a critical question: Was the Government in Istanbul guilty of Genocide? This tragedy, involving the deaths of many Armenians, Turks, and Kurds, cannot be understood through such a narrow lens. A broader historical context is essential to grasp the complexities of the events surrounding the Great War and the Armenian Insurrection it ignited. Insights from Dr. Pasdermadjian (Armen Garo), a key figure in the insurrection, shed light on the 1915 events, revealing a pivotal moment when the survival of a people was gambled in the pursuit of a Great Armenia, where Armenians were a minority. The narrative also includes a commentary on the origins and evolution of "the Armenian Question," culminating in the catastrophic events in Anatolia during the Great War. Central to this tragedy is a cautionary tale of betrayals, highlighting the role of the Liberal Anglosphere in promoting dangerous ideas of historic destiny for the Armenians, ultimately leading to their destruction. This lesson remains relevant today, echoing the past in the same region. As we commemorate the centenary of the Great Calamity, it is vital to seek not only the truth but the whole truth.

      An updated look at more than 5,000 years of India's history. As recently as the turn of the century, Western images of India pictured it as a land of religion, luxury, and desperate poverty—holy men sitting cross-legged by the roadside, fat maharajas on bejeweled elephants, or poverty-stricken beggars picking garbage for scraps to eat. Now that image has started to change. Today Americans are more likely to imagine Indian workers in call centers taking jobs needed in the United States or kids winning fortunes on quiz shows as in Slumdog Millionaire. Admired for its spiritual traditions (two of the world's major religions—Hinduism and Buddhism—originated here), for its peaceful struggle for independence led by Mohandas K. Gandhi, and for its vibrant culture (from Bollywood and spicy cuisine to classical music and world-renowned authors), India has had a long and fascinating history. However, while most people are familiar with certain parts of Indian history and culture, the roots of the country's contemporary society and politics are not always well understood in the West. Covering approximately 5,000 years of history, A Brief History of India, Second Edition offers an accessible, reliable introduction to the rich and diverse history of India. Coverage includes: Caste, Kings, and the Hindu World Order Gandhi and the Nationalist movement Constructing the Nation Bollywood and Beyond India in the Twenty-First Century.
