Welcome to Mad Music Fine Words

A creative space where music and literature come together.

This site is largely the overflow from my www.paulcoanwilliams.com site, and tends to feature a mix of  recordings and writing carefully curated to inspire and entertain. It's all a personal collection of words and music.
I'd love you to join me on this journey.

I also invite you to explore my other websites:

True Story

COAN THE COOPER

the true story of my Great Grandfather, whom we knew as Frank Williams, Welsh farmer, but who turned out to be Sergeant Ira Coan of the 8th Regiment stationed in El Paso at the outbreak of the American Civil War. It is in three parts: 1 Life on the Erie Canal. 2 Out West. 3 Hands across the Pacific 

Memoir

MY TWO YEARS WITH GOD, or HOW I LOST MY VOCATION

memoir, concerning my two years in a Catholic boarding school.

Romantic Novel

ANTONIA'S JOURNEY

A romantic novel concerning Antonia Newland who migrates to Australia in 1830 in order to marry Captain Marcus Oldham. Not quite a bodice-ripper but titillating nevertheless. Old Sydney comes alive here in a fascinating way.
