Announcement #1

I'm excited to announce my rerelease of four published books exclusively on Amazon (paperback and Kindle versions). 100% of all royalties go directly to NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT, a charitable organization supporting the fight against multiple sclerosis.

Click on the link to my Amazon author page if you would like to purchase any of the great titles out there: https://www.amazon.com/Kevin-Byrne/e/B01IWR8P3G

This is preparation for the release of my next novel. Sensations will come out in early 2023.

April 27, 2034 – Eleanor Nickerson developed technology that records and recreates human emotion. Once labeled the 21st century’s greatest gift, a worldwide crisis places her against government attempts to control the experience and the underworld’s exploitation of our need to feel. Ellie now faces her truth when pressed for the vision of her creation:

“I am not a God.”

“But what if you were?”

Never Stop… Never Quit…

Kevin

 

Moments (novel)

Dominic Bandall is a condemned man. A once powerful attorney in New York City, he and his law partner, his wife Sharon, focused on their never-ending fight for justice. Now an aged man, his body is battered from the crippling ailments he has endured in his lifetime— his mind is burdened by the memories of the 9/11 attacks that killed Sharon and so many.

On February 28, 2019, a young law student named Angela Grant met him at his office in Honu‘apo, Hawai‘i, to conduct a series of interviews. What transpired over the next 10 days began with his first confession: “I can see moments in time, Angela.”

 

… in abeyance (a novella) and

Christopher Baxter is a man recognized for his accomplishments: West Point graduate, medical doctor, combat veteran. Chris is also a condemned man-a man who struggles with the familiarity of circumstances he has carried his entire life.

Nothing else changes; no mystical stories or tales of fantasy. What would you do if humanity stopped dying? As the world struggles to come to grips with dormancy, is one man-Chris Baxter-just another unwilling participant, the curse, or their salvation?

 

My MS and E is a children’s picture book depicting a typical interaction between Kevin and his daughter, Eleanor. They share an unbreakable father-daughter bond, even in the face of his ongoing struggles with multiple sclerosis.

 

Annie Flynn - first row, second desk (short story)

Annie Flynn knew early on where life would take her. “The northeastern region of Syrtis Major Planum. That’s where I’m going to land.”

Experience the magical life of Annie Flynn, from those early years in the first row, second desk to humankind’s first landing on the red planet.

My Weapons of Choice


For every share of the original Facebook post or LinkedIn article before September 28, NEVER STOP NEVER QUIT will donate $1 to the bike MS campaign of Eleanor Byrne. Please help me spread the message and support our fight!


In my fight against the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis, my weapons of choice are my words.
My stories serve a dual purpose. Personally, they are my therapy. In a broader sense, I hope to reach out to this audience, enlighten you with my words, and share my message of hope.
It started with me — you can help me fulfill my dream.

Included in this book are:
Five short stories
    Chaos: a reflection, confession
    Essence: a perspective on the divine
    I’ll Never Breathe Again: a contemplation of past fears
    Jimmy the Kid: a dark tale of rage (nature)
    His Story, His Way: a dark tale of rage (nurture)
…in abeyance (a novella)

There are two versions of this story. When the story was first written, Eleanor refused to read it with me unless there were pictures. The second version is the original picture board used to read this to my daughter at bedtime.
My MS and E is a children’s picture book depicting a typical interaction between Kevin and his daughter, Eleanor. They share an unbreakable father-daughter bond, even in the face of his ongoing struggles with multiple sclerosis.
This story is a heartwarming tale of how they grow, learn, struggle, and celebrate life in their mantra of Never Stop… Never Quit…

This Day in History: March 28, 2016



On March 28, 2016, a John Doe walked into the emergency room of St. Augustus Hospital, Portland, Oregon, and died. He carried no identification, gave no indication of concern, and was alone.

John Doe was the last person to die...anywhere.

Christopher Baxter is a man recognized for his accomplishments: West Point graduate, medical doctor, combat veteran. Chris is also a condemned man-a man who struggles with the familiarity of circumstances he has carried his entire life.

Nothing else changes; no mystical stories or tales of fantasy. What would you do if humanity stopped dying? As the world struggles to come to grips with dormancy, is one man-Chris Baxter-just another unwilling participant, the curse, or their salvation?

My give for the month of March is ...in abeyance. Get the print copy for the minimum charge I can offer through Amazon (printing costs only); get the e-book for free.
