I'm writing a novel for each of the seven years of World War Two. To me, it’s an inexhaustible subject for many reasons, some of which are the moral issues it confronts, its parallels to today’s wars, and the ever-present possibility of dictator-driven genocide. The novels are not connected; their commonality being ordinary people whose lives and destinies are distorted by war. Each takes place in a fictional town, itself a character, and each has an underlying theme: one art, one sport, one music, one food, one science. (The theme of the last, is, appropriately, writing itself.) They’re fast-paced, evocative and historically grounded in the very real events that characterized each year of the global conflict.

First three novels now available

The first three novels in my World War Two Series, Kelsmeath, 1940, Tullykillane, 1941, and Mossingdene, 1944, are now available internationally from Amazon, B&N and the Apple iBookstore. A fourth, Valdinato, 1943 follows early in 2012.

The books are available in digital format. Paper- and hardback are not currently available, but may be at a later date if enough interest develops.
