WE ARE BESIEGED by Barbara Fitzgerald was originally published in 1946. This fascinating first novel deals with the burning-out of an Anglo-Irish family in 1922 and what happens to them during the subsequent ten years. The backdrop for most of the novel is a Georgian house in Fitzwilliam Square in Dublin, where the family tries to deal with the new Ireland in their different ways. Two attractive sisters, the self-willed Isobel and the more endearing Caroline, grow up in a society where there are no officers to dance with, no Viceregal Drawing-rooms to assure them position. When the British left Southern Ireland, many of the Anglo-Irish remaining in the country felt like aliens, besieged in a hostile land. While some adapted to the new regime, others, such as Isobel and Caroline's mother, neither could nor would. Their sons and daughters grew up as a generation that could hardly remember the British. Families were divided against themselves, children against their parents.

Award-winning columnist Randy Fitzgerald and his wife, Barbara, get the humor soaring in a new book, FLIGHTS OF FANCY: Stories, Conversations and Life Travels with a Bemused Columnist and His Whimsical Wife, to be published October 10 by Beach Glass Books. Flights, a $14.95 paperback, is a collection of columns and anecdotes shared by Randy - columnist for The Richmond News Leader, the Richmond Times-Dispatch and Boomer magazine - and Barbara - freelance writer and advertising/marketing expert. The couple long has been a favorite both in print and on the local lecture tour. Randy writes of the ordinary and the outrageous events in the life of one man's family, including an encounter with eight members of the British Royal family (yes, including the queen) on a London street and another with Willie Nelson in a Nashville parking lot. But did Randy also take his bride on a honeymoon to the Putt-Putt capital of the world? Did he flood his family's home to the tune of $13,000 in damages? And did Barb back the car over his Martin guitar? Did she get the couple's love story featured in Good Housekeeping magazine? Yes to all that and much, much more. Barb, his wife of 31, 46 or 56 years (it all depends on how you count) confirms and explains it all with her amused and amusing commentaries. Dozens of photographs and Douglas Payne illustrations enhance the stories. Flights of Fancy is perfect for your handbag or beach bag, anyone's holiday stocking, your favorite end table or even the bathroom. Count on it being picked up - and the laughs to ensue.

Like strands of DNA Or coiled brain matter, The toad eggs float On the pond's murky surface, After the full moon's Songfest, Each dark spot An embryo, A mark Barbara Fitzgerald loves words and the ways they can provide perspective on life, the natural world, and our experiences. In a debut collection of poems penned over fifty years, she shares reflections on a variety of topics related to her life journey that has spanned from her twenties to her seventies. Within diverse original verse, a man contemplates his existence, a mantis hangs deep into January as a fossil of a nightmare under glass, love ends over dinner on a summer night, and white hairs invite candid observations about aging and death. Included is an epilogue that offers a tribute to three generations with touching poems written by her late mother and her daughter. AngleSea is a volume of original poetry that poignantly explores nature, personal experiences, and the human condition.
