At the moment I am researching and writing in two different genres.The first book I call 'Fr John Winter: worse things than dying.' It is a science versus religion scenario set in Athlone and partly in the US. After a period working with my father on a water treatment scheme in Athlone in the 1980s I became fascinated with the medieval town. My stories are set around and in Athlone and the local lake, Lough Ree. The lake has over fifty islands and at least twenty of those have legends attached to them and have been inhabited at some point. In my first book, Mutation, I added a fictional island of my own and I have added another for my second novel, 'Fr John Winter: worse things than dying.' This present book draws on my own experience and research I carried out on Lough Ree, Athlone and eugenics, a subject I researched in depth and became intrigued with.My other 'franchise' (as I like to call it), is based on a group of guys working on construction in Ireland in the 1980s. I have based this book on my own experience working on sites in the 1970s and '80 all over Ireland. This work will also shortly be available on Smashwords on preorder. Think of it as an Irish equivalent of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. :)I put many years of research into Fr Winter, especially on psychic phenomena (Did you know, the author of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, was fascinated by the subject?) and eugenics and the science of DNA manipulation (recombinant DNA technology) A gained a BA and an M.Litt in later years which was a great help in doing this research.My Construction guys took a lot less research. I have managed to produce the first book in a year. The second one is three-quarter finished. I hope you will enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed putting these worlds together. I have always, from an early age, wanted to write, and I feel so lucky to now finally be getting that opportunity.Thank you and keep reading. Writers are nothing without our readers.weniger sehen
