Diana Hayes's debut novella, Looking for Cornelius was released September 8, 2025 by Resource Publications/Wipf and Stock.  

A gorgeous, poignant tale of homecoming told with a keen sense of poetic detail. Diana Hayes takes us on a journey steeped in Celtic lore, lilting music, ghosts of the past, and the heart’s longing for the ancient unknown.         –Rebecca Hendry, author of One Good Thing

Diana Hayes’s graceful poetic touch serves this novella well. Haunted by ancestral presence, rich with lore and magic, like the Irish language itself, Looking for Cornelius sings.
