Robert Kinsella, Janine DeBaise (2008)
A nostalgic journey to a time (1966-1985) when parents sent children to school and relaxed knowing they were safe. Kinsella and DeBaise’s work provides an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what we were, in hopes that we can regain some of the simplicity and integrity of the past.
It is filled with anecdotes that are often funny, sometimes tragic, and always heart-warming: like how the principal’s son refused to get on the school bus the first day of kindergarten and escaped up a tree; or how Jimmy, a boy with cystic fibrosis, revealed the importance of children with special needs attending public school. One gray-haired kindergarten teacher asked a boy what he wanted to be when he grew up. “A kindergarten teacher just like you,” the boy said. The teacher laughed: “Can I visit you when you are teaching?” He looked at her lovingly, “Mrs. Ford, you’ll be in heaven by then.”

John Kinsella and James Kinsella (first printing 2004; second edition, rev. 2008)
Clan Kinsella is the story of the Ui Cinnsealaigh, hereditary chieftains of south Leinster who often held sway throughout the province and who influenced politics across Ireland. This is the story of Enna and Eochaid who fought the O’Neill and whose mythic actions inspired their descendants, such as Crimthan the first Christian king of Leinster, Dermot MacMurrough, who brought the Normans to Ireland, and many others.
It is a history of Irish politics and culture, introducing readers to early Celtic Myth, Gaelic culture, Saints Patrick and Brigid, the trouble times of English rule, and the development of the modern Irish state, all told through the perspective of Clan Kinsella

Artie Lake (2011)
Cu Chulainn finds his hound (twice!), Etain finds her man, and Fergus finds that his kingly protection can in fact be broken.
This chapbook of thirteen tales, populated by warriors and earth goddesses, magical dogs and monsters, is inspired in subject matter and form by early Irish literature. Readers who enjoy the robust, vigorous, but slightly-odd form of the Ulster and Fenian Cycles will enjoy this modern addition to a thousand-year literary tradition.

Standish O’Grady, A. H. Leahy, T. E. Kinsella, editor (2009)

Two strong women take control of their destinies and both pay grievous prices. This is a thoughtfully modernized edition of O’Grady and Leahy’s early Irish classics, with a new introduction by T. E. Kinsella.
