Novel: Divide the Dawn
“1919 New York is a gangland where
our ancestors fight for survival.”
Divide the Dawn is a historical novel that will be published in Fall, 2019. Initial readings[image error] by critics have praised it as:
~”A master storyteller’s tale that spins for adept readers.”
~”The suspense is toe-curling, mystery courses through the body of the storyline.”
Who will survive and who will die hangs upon the belief in fate versus free-will. The characters react with emotional variance to the sweep of events that alter their lives. They suffer as we do, break the law to save their children, fight to feed their families while readers are left to feel that even free-will is somehow prophesied, and that their bloodlines and surnames are branches that stretch through our own family trees. Their stories, their struggles, their passions teeter in such a volatile environment and when they peer into a looking-glass, the city is always in the reflection.
[image error]Divide the Dawn continues the story begun in the publication of Light of the Diddicoy (2014) & Exile on Bridge Street (2016), but Loingsigh has been quoted that Divide the Dawn can and should be read first as a stand-alone novel.

Divide the Dawn has elements of Historical Fiction, Suspense, Crime Fiction, Horror and Fantasy, but author Eamon Loingsigh (sounds like Lynch) is calling it a Ghost Story.
“The ghosts of the old world, and the difficult experiences all immigrants have had in coming to America, haunts the first generation. But for the Irish in New York the trauma of The Great Hunger (potato famine) lasted many generations. Ancient, Medieval and modern Irish history along with myths are combined with actual historical events of the 1910s to make a fascinating series about the ancestors of 40 million Americans.”
