A stunning story of Ireland, of fathers and sons, and the power of memories …[/color]
Matti Finch is just a kid living with his aunt in the south of Ireland in the late 1980s. Life is hard, unemployment is high, and the Finch family’s circumstances are desperate. Matti talks to his mother every day, but he hasn’t seen his father Dave for six months. Dave’s been trying to face his family, but there are just too many demons. He can’t stop remembering how he and his brother Matthew escaped the troubles of Northern Ireland and made a new home down South. And how they both fell in love with the same woman …
For Matti and Dave, it won’t be easy finding a way back to each other. But even when it seems there’s nothing left to lose, hope is never far away …
• Author’s previous novel, One More Time, sold over 7000 copies (BookScan) -- a strong debut
• Perennial popularity of Irish family stories -- think Frank McCourt
• Author’s new album of the same name releases late 2009 – hear the song ‘Remember June’ at www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/vs4cx2
Praise for One More Time:
‘…a deceptively simple story with a nice twist at the end and deeper meanings that sink in
on reflection.' Canberra Times
'an entertaining yarn that’s well-written to boot’ NW Magazine.
'an absorbing first novel' Woman's Day

Very good to see he's smack centre of the title page of this document
This book will be released soon and I can't wait to get reading! It sounds like a fascinating story with an intriguing storyline.
Plus it's got the cover illustration of the book. Maybe someone else can post it cause I've run out of time
