The editors of Irish Echo asked Colleen to do a Gone to Amerikay -themed cover for their 2012 St Patrick’s Day issue, which was then presented to President Obama by Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness of Northern Ireland. “Ghost story or detective fiction? History or mythology? Drawing on the freewheeling spirit of Irish and Irish-American popular culture, Gone To Amerikay is all of these. A tale that takes place simultaneously in 1870, 1960 and 2010, it recognizes that though enormous changes have taken place over time in the relationship between the New World and the Old Country, some things, like love, justice and respect, are timeless and imperative. With thrilling illustrations, rich with the color and mood of these passions, you will find yourself unable to avoid lingering at length on them before picking up the story again.” — Philip Chevron The Pogues Mangaman , written by Barry Lyga, was chosen as one of the Best Graphic Novels for Teens 2012, by the Young Adult Library Services Association.
