We are delighted to announce that on Friday, 25th October, the definitive account of the final voyage and shipwreck of the Thetis will be launched in Kerry Writers’ Museum, Listowel, Co Kerry. Author Paul O’Dowd availed of JM Agency’s ‘Book Publishing Package’, our comprehensive service for authors who self-publish. Paul has been working with Sarah, Parvathi and Jeremy for a number of months, perfecting his manuscript and creating a book cover and interior that encapsulates Final Voyage of the Thetis– and captivates readers.
Ever since the Thetis was wrecked off the Kerry coast in 1834, returning from delivering Irish immigrants to Canada, writers and scholars have been puzzled by what exactly happened to the brig. In Final Voyage-, a book that blends adventure story and scholarly research, engineer and sailor Paul O’Dowd may have finally uncovered the truth. Was the Thetis smuggling contraband, or simply a victim of the vicissitudes of nature? Paul endeavours to answer this question and more.
Keep an eye on this website and our social channels for more on Paul and his remarkable book. For now, please save the date and join us at the Kerry Writers’ Museum, Friday, October the 25th, for an autumnal evening of seafaring mystery.
The author Paul O’Dowd will also deliver an interactive presentation. Drinks and light refreshments will be served and all are welcome.
