The one you have all been waiting for
Over the years, much has been written about the 1943 Battle of Bamber Bridge, most of which is reasonably accurate - Except for one little known fact that turns the whole sequence of calamitous events on its head.
So what was the real reason as to why the battle started in this little northern mill town? You can find out when you read about 'The True Story', which will be available from all good book shops and Amazon from June 24th - The 79th anniversary of the Battle.
If you missed the book signing at the Hob Inn, there are still a number of signed copies available from the Hob Inn at the discounted price of £8 a copy.

"You're in hell George, hades, the bottomless pit, the afterlife, call it what you will" explained Sam, "But you must have been a real bastard when you were alive, because this is the fourth level and only the worst people who ever lived are sent here." George looked closer at the shadowy figures who were still passing and could have sworn that he recognized Adolf Hitler walking by, arm in arm with Attila the Hun.
So, what will happen to George in his present sticky predicament? Is there a possible way out? Find out when you read ‘Be Careful What You Aspire Too’. Just one of 25 unusual tales, which at the conclusion of each one will have you saying, “Well, I never saw that coming”.

The 'Bard's' most successful book to date.
This is the almost true story of an ordinary Irish lass by the name of Tessie Cleary and her family. Almost true as except for the Cleary clan and their extended family, most of the other names in the tale are fictional. This also applies to many of the events in Tessie's and her family's lives which are based on rather sketchy references passed down through the generations by family members and others. The essence of the action is based on actual occurrences in the Cleary household to which I have applied a modicum of dramatic licence and although events and dialogue may not have happened exactly as recorded in this book, on the other hand who is there to say that they may not be that far removed from the truth?
So, was Tessie Cleary just an ordinary Irish lass then? Oh no! She was much more than that. In fact, she was someone rather special - She was my Ma!
