Cillefoyle Park is a historical fiction novel about a bar man torn between the possibility of politics and the violence exploding on the streets of Derry at the height of the Troubles in the early 1970’s.

That’s the treacherous dilemma that Dermot Lavery finds himself in when an innocent friendship with a neighbour – a schoolteacher leads them both into a precarious web of secrecy and intrigue with all sides of the endless conflict.

Caught in a nightmare world of secret negotiations for a ceasefire, based on the Brendan Duddy papers, his life spins on the edge of clandestine friendship, love, meetings and certain death at any wrong turn - a constant struggle with his conscience and the challenge of simply staying alive. These papers have been deposited in the University of Galway, see foreword for details.

A Bump on the Road is a book of short stories emanating from the innocent years before secondary school, and the growing out of it. The stories reflect an observant child in Ireland attempting to understand the world around him. All this comes under the microscope of a child growing up.  

These stories are disguised memoirs – creative memoirs. Little nuggets of memories give birth to these flights of fancies. The reader is taken on a gamut of emotions in this rich and amusing journey of growing up in Ireland. Sorrow is never too far away.
