​Welcome to the official website of author, Brendan Gisby.

Picture
The site is named after Blazes Boylan.  If you don't already know him, Blazes is one of the characters who populate the early 1900's Dublin of James Joyce's Ulysses.  He's loud and brash, a showman and a womanizer; in fact, he's everything Brendan Gisby is not.  But his name is arresting.  By using it, Brendan hopes you'll find this website equally arresting.

On the site, you can learn a bit more about Brendan.  You can read about his published books, where to buy them and what reviewers think of them.  You can find out about his works in progress.  You can dip into his little library of short stories.  And, of course, you can follow his blogs: The 4 B's to keep up-to-date with his latest news and Lorem Ipsum for his occasional anecdotes.

Please enjoy your visit.
