Ireland 1944.. A young man’s body is pulled from the River Lee. He’s wearing a distinctive silver ring that belonged to Paudy Daly, the eldest son of the notorious Mixer Daly. Why?
Autumn 1940. Germany invades Britain. Newport is blitzed. Danny O’Shea’s house is bombed, his wife is killed. While taking his young son Adam to neutral Ireland, they witness an attack on a German convoy. The result is brutal.

Background
Information
I write historical fiction, both novels and (occasionally) short stories. I have experimented with assorted time periods, but at present I am focusing on the Victorian era, and will be doing so for the forseeable future, as this is where my greatest passion lies. While preparing for Cover the Mirrors' release, I'm working on my third book.
I have a particular fondness for the history of those who have been dismissed throughout the years, hence my interest in the lives of women and those not counted among the privileged few of the aristocracy.
