Out now – new novel: Maps of the Heart

“The trouble with my father was that he had lived the best part of his life by the time he was twenty-one.”

So begins the story of Bill who returns to Cork in Ireland having lived through the most exciting three years of his life – in the Navy during WWII. He brings with him his new English bride, Jean.

Now, he’s looking for a new adventure. So too is Jean – wanting an adventure of her own.

But what adventure could possible top WWII?

Told through a child’s eyes, and with echoes of Angela’s Ashes and Paddy Clark Ha Ha HaMaps of the Heart is a story about expectations, the search for love and how life rarely turns out as expected.
