About Me

Ryan Donaghy: Bringing Ireland’s History to Life

Born in Belfast during the Troubles, Ryan developed a deep connection to Irish history and the forces that shape it. His career in finance, marketing, and entrepreneurship took him across the world, but health challenges led him to rediscover his passion for storytelling. The Famine, his debut novel, blends real historical events with fiction, reimagining his own siblings as characters in 1845 Ireland. Drawing from meticulous research and a lifelong love of history, he brings to life an epic tale of survival, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Irish people.

"History is more than the past; it’s the foundation of our future."

Ryan Donaghy: Bringing Ireland’s History to Life

Spanning four generations, The Irish Series follows the O’Donaghue family as they navigate Ireland’s most tumultuous years, caught between famine, rebellion, and the shifting tides of global power. Beginning in the 1840s, Christopher, Ryan, Seamus, and Lauren O’Donaghue are torn apart by the Great Hunger, each carving out their own fate in Ireland, America, and Australia. Their choices set the stage for a battle that will stretch across decades—through political intrigue, revolutionary struggle, and economic warfare. As their children rise to power in different corners of the world, the O’Donaghues find themselves entangled in a shadow war between empires, banking elites, and those who seek to break free from oppression. From the famine ships to the halls of Westminster, from secret revolutionary meetings to the assassination of world leaders, the series unveils the hidden hands shaping history. The Irish Series is a sweeping saga of resilience, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
