It would have been Albert Einstein's birthday today, 14th March, it seemed appropriate to remind myself of something he said, 'the most beautiful thing that we can explain is the MYSTERIOUS. It is the only source of true art and science. All those to whom this emotion is a stranger - those who can no longer pause in WONDER or stand wrapt in AWE - they are already dead: their eyes are shut.'
The emphases are his.

Behind the Walls - A new post-war novella

This week I’m happy to announce the publication of my novella Behind the Walls . It is about a canny, resourceful young Catholic boy, the girl he befriends and the courage they find to create a future of their own despite their personal difficulties and hardships. Behind the Walls is flavoured with an element of medieval mystery and is inspired by a rich sense of the past which still resonates in the streets surrounding Newcastle’s City Walls where I was born and brought up. Behind the Walls is currently on promotion with Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions and will shortly be available to order from bookshops. I hope you will enjoy and leave your review on Amazon.
