Albany, NY – Frank Delaney has written extensively about his homeland in his novels such as Ireland, as well as "Tipperary" & "Shannon". Born in Tipperary, Delaney has a new tale about Ireland now out - "Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show" - a sweeping Irish saga that is vibrant, adventurous and dramatic.

In it, we meet the mesmerizing Miss Kelly, the troupe's headliner, and a man Ben MacCarthy who makes the fateful decision to leave his family for a life on the road.
