On February 17, 2026, I’ll be releasing the cover of my fourth historical novel, Irish Timber, and on April 24, 2026, we’ll be celebrating its launch at Mockingbird Bookshop in Bath, Maine, at 5:30 P.M. In the meantime, here’s what Robert Monroe, the author of top-selling Bungalow Terrace, has to say about it:
From the coast of Maine to the shores of the Emerald Isle, Irene M. Drago’s Irish Timber, her latest work of historical fiction, is a meticulously researched, elegantly written tale of maritime tragedy, life-changing love, and the harsh realities of war. Timely and relevant, Drago’s insightful follow-up to Lavinia Wren and the Sailmakers is an incisive and perceptive addition to the genre.
