When I started on the Clan Coleman website some years ago, it was to give the Clan branches throughout the world access to some of the information that I had been researching and collecting for years.
It was always my intention to use part of this and other information in a book on our Coleman family.
This book, Clan Coleman Genealogy and Family History, is more anecdotal and descriptive, and every effort has been made to include mainly recent family photos.
The Introduction gives you a general view of our family history. It comprises a summary of headings and short paragraphs organised to give you an outline of the whole story. For those of you not interested in history, it will stand as enough for now at least, but for all others it is just an outline of much more interesting things to come in the pages ahead.
My latest book is a novel.
I hope you enjoy it!

I recently published a novel entitled “Eyes So Blue”. Though entirely fictional in both storyline and characters, it is in part modelled on characters and locations known to me. The plot incorporates the real, the imaginary, the unusual and the paranormal blended through themes of suspense, love, tragedy and beauty.
Here is a copy of the descriptive paragraph I supplied to Amazon CreateShape and Kindle during the publication process:
“The central character, Frank O’Conor, grows up at a time when the society to which he belongs is beginning to re-establish itself and find its place in the world. His upbringing is charged with the beliefs and practices of the past as well as an acknowledgement of emerging practices and beliefs, presenting a very interesting mix of tales both real and extraordinary. To Frank, there didn’t seem to be any real divide between the spirit world and the world of his parents and grandparents. He becomes a student at a boarding college a long way from where he was raised. He rose to the ongoing challenges it presented with its wonderfully new horizons in education, relationships and sport. It was while here that he met and fell in love with a very gifted and beautiful young lady whose mother was a leading neurologist and scientist and father an internationally renowned mathematician. This relationship gradually provides answers to practices and occurrences that had baffled Frank for years. Under their influence Frank becomes involved in the world of science and when things couldn’t look rosier, catastrophe struck turning all their worlds into living hells. Intrigue, mystery and forces seemingly implacable shroud their lives leading to the extraordinary, the tragic and eventually the beautiful.”
If you get a chance to read “Eyes So Blue”, I would love to hear what you think about it. Both the digital and paperback versions are available on Amazon.com.au and on Amazon.com. The digital is also available on Kobo and iTunes.
Thanks, Martin.
