About the Book

Ireland is a land rich in history, culture and myth. It's a landscape born of fire, carved by ice and sculpted by humanity. It's a place of esoteric sayings, warm welcomes and fond goodbyes. Its inhabitants are charming, humble and authentic. This book touches on those ideas, but mainly it deals with the strange and incredulous goings on of the islands far away past. We meet Cessair, who thought nothing of splitting three shipwrecked lads among one hundred and fifty energetic women. Resulting in one poor guy turning into a fish rather than suffer the fate of his companions. We meet Partholón, one of the worst sons in history as he colonises the island and misses out on an orgy. There's the magick and majesty of the Tuath Dé, the infighting and treachery of the first kings and the dark macabre shenanigans of the Fomorians, the most beautiful of monsters. Invasions is the story of Irelands first people as seen by historians and the ancients themselves. It is an irreverent, ridiculous and sometimes sublime no holds barred trip through the mythology of Ireland.
About the Author: C. Thomas Smith is a fantasy storyteller with a ridiculous sense of humour that can make you snort with laughter or diligently search for pitchforks. His old stomping ground (about fifty feet from the house he was raised in) is still a field, located in Ireland and now somewhat sadly misused by children as a play area. His writing varies by genre and includes comedy and serious works but his experience in Primary School sent him ecstatically into the arms of fantasy and horror. His experiences in secondary school have funded the private education of several young people with psychotherapists as parents. His love of mythology and speculative fiction aid him in creating real worlds with real people that can both entertain and raise questions about the human condition. He has an amazing wife and two extraordinary children who protect him as he sleeps from a cat named Pixie that has promised to do unspeakable things with his innards. At least, that's what the cat seemed to be saying though absinthe and painkillers were involved. This isn't a nod to a secret drug addiction. The painkillers were for a knee issue. The absinthe was due to the aforementioned wife and kids.
