Writing
After a lifetime of working, sometimes ridiculously long hours and years without holidays, I am finally able to spend some time on the things that I want to do.
This section contains links and information about my writing which to date is novels only, those published, those about to be published, those in the pipeline and those still in work or in my head.
The Vengeance Trilogy is below. | Coming Soon |
Young couple, Karine and Sher, are experiencing the joys and exhaustion of caring for their new baby when a stranger arrives at their door claiming to be a health professional. His visit leaves a family destroyed and a traumatised Sher trying to understand the senseless violence.
Reliving scenes from his troubled upbringing and recalling what Karine had told him about her even more traumatic early life, Sher’s search for answers leads him through the seedy underbelly of 1980’s Belfast, to a young, up and coming crime boss, to the painful realities of his quest for vengeance, and his attempt to find the truth.
An ordinary man’s search to uncover the dark secrets behind his family’s destruction and the earth-shattering link to the highest office in the Catholic Church.
Published by Olympia Publishing and available at the usual outlets including Amazon, if you have no moral objections to huge multi-national corporations.
Though still grieving the loss of his wife and newborn child, Sher, a gentle man, has nonetheless come to Rome driven by his oath of vengeance. He has sworn to kill the man he believes responsible. But his target is no ordinary man – he is the most heavily protected figure in the Catholic Church.
Utilising the city’s criminal underground leads him to nothing but pain and despair, forcing Sher into an uneasy alliance with a renegade priest once a facilitator for the IRA. His only chance to get close to his target: to become a pawn in this priest’s murderous scheme, part of a deadly plan that could cost him everything.
Now hunted through the streets of Rome by the enemies he has made, Sher must survive long enough to escape the city and to answer the question burning in his heart: will vengeance bring justice, or destroy the man he once was?
Coming in August to be published by Olympia Publishing
Home marred and mauled, and changed forever, Sher returns to Belfast with unfinished business: loose ends complicit in the destruction of his former life, and debts that must finally be settled.
A new man, cold maybe, and a new philosophy to live – or die – by, reigniting his thirst for vengeance, certain only that what was left unfinished must now be completed.
But the criminal underworld remains as ruthless as ever, and this time his target is protected not by bodyguards or costumed attendants, but by the paramilitaries, by the might of the IRA and the UDA, perhaps even by the establishment itself.
To navigate that world will mean deadly danger, testing Sher to his limits and forcing him to discover what he is truly capable of becoming.
Coming in December to be published by Olympia Publishing.
