An Irish Odyssey: Journey’s Beyond the Peaks (The Journeys Saga) by M.F. Erler

March 13, 2025 by SF Parrott Leave a Comment

An Irish Historical Fiction Novel ~

Standing in the shadow of Ireland’s Great Hunger, one woman wields an unyielding strength that shapes the destiny of generations.

“Sepia-toned history comes alive with thoughts and conversations as contemporary as our own.” —Pastor Tim Christenson, Colonel, USMC (Ret.)

“I learned a lot about the Irish Potato Famine through Erler’s depictions of people who experienced it. . . . The time travel [helped] interpret the historical background of the 1800s and the telling of the story” —Mary Schmidt

“A compelling story that needs to be shared and reflects a lot of excellent research.” —Rev. Dr. Kurt Ziemann

In Memory

Ronald P. “Ron” Lovell, Author, Friend

August 1937 — March 2025

Ron Lovell was born in Colorado Springs and later graduated from UCLA. After serving in the Army, he built a journalism career and became a beloved OSU professor. In retirement, he wrote two mystery series—14 Thomas Martindale books and 4 featuring Lorenzo Madrid.

I’ll miss your “serious” critiques, that sent me into laughing fits on how my writing as “too cutsie” and our weekly donuts and coffee runs, talking about writing, stories, and everything in between.

You were and still are my best friend.
