St. Brendan's Lighthouse and The Falcon's Nest
by Shawn A Lohan


A decade ago, Shan narrowly escaped the clutches of a secret right-wing cabal hidden within the English government. He embarks on a journey of understanding to the Isle of Man in search of his Celtic past. Little does Shan know that his would-be kidnappers are once again in hot pursuit, and the facts he will uncover delve deeper than he could have imagined—even into secret government groups and political conspiracies. Also involved in this dangerous game of cat-and-mouse are Inspector Maloney of the Irish GARDA and a former enigmatic member of the IRA and those wishing to do him and his father, harm. Can Shan untangle the many-layered mysteries that await him on the Isle of Man and outwit his pursuers? St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest, the second novel in The St. Brendan Series , is an action-mystery novel deftly woven into the fabric of the Isle of Man—landmarks, architecture, and the famous Isle of Man TT motorcycle race bring the setting to life and invite the reader to delve into its history along with Shan. Bringing in characters from The Three Coins, Lohan’s father’s novel, St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest is a text that speaks through its plot and its very construction about the importance of family and history. “This road was a universe unto itself, for if thoughts were leaves and hopes were the winds upon which they drifted, this landscape would be brimming and deep, recognized for what it contained if your heart only had eyes.”


Shawn A. Lohan was born in Toronto, Ontario, and has lived in multiple cities across Canada, including Ottawa, Vancouver, and Edmonton. He currently calls Sudbury—where he is the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s—home. He has enjoyed a diverse schooling across universities in Canada, Laurentian, Carleton and the University of Alberta, and holds degrees in sociology and political science and a diploma in law and justice. In addition to being an author, Shawn was also a licensed private pilot, semi-truck driver, and owner of his own businesses. He cherishes the friendships he has across Canada, feels he has been luckier than most, and is eternally grateful. In addition to writing, Shawn is a proud father of four, older brother to four younger siblings, uncle, and grandparent. While his mother, Helena, was born in Toronto, his father, Christopher (known as “Bob” to his friends) immigrated from Ireland. The St. Brendan Series is one way Shawn explores and honours his heritage.
