His vast experience was essential to write the complex story of Ulliam and Máire, lovers in ancient Ireland who died in Donegal Castle as it burned in 1589. The novel spans 400 years of both Irish and world history, events of great interest to Joe.

He personally investigated the facts of each event as the couple reincarnated through the centuries, careful that the circumstances and locales were historically accurate.

He published "Real Irish Fairies of Donegal," a color photographic 8"x10" book, with background and local information, depicting real fairies J.A. Greenleaf both saw and photographed in Co Donegal, Ireland, at Malin Head.
