This is the book that I was going to release as my first book, but events got in the way. This was sent to me from a friend in the USA that I met in Ireland some years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it in part because of the echoes of that time in my life (as it is, initially, set in the part of Ireland I spent quite some time in) but mainly because I found it intriguing and it developed in an unexpected way. I've now "released" to a friend that was going to travel to Ireland but whose plans were thwarted by Sept 11th 2001 and the associated uncertainties. I've given instruction that it then be released into the wild. This was my American friend's original suggestion but I've been reluctant to let go (although I have shared it with a number of other friends). Now it is free!
