About the Author
Frank is a retired Engineer. He spent most of his working life in England where he was employed by UK based multi-national companies. His interest in the shared history of Ireland and the Welsh Marches was aroused by a visit to a ruined castle near his home and the discovery of the connection with the Mortimer’s of Wigmore in Herefordshire. This lead to the realisation that many of the leading participants in the Norman occupation of Ireland in the twelfth century already had well established land holdings in Herefordshire and adjacent counties. He lives with Freda, his wife of 50 year since 1963, in Stradbally, Co. Laois, Ireland. Frank Parker has two other novels available as Kindle e-books: Honest Hearts. Two people of Irish descent fall in love in North America at the start of the twentieth century. What is the secret from her past that ensures the failure of their relationship? What if they meet again twenty years later? And how will either react to the discovery of the daughter she gave up for adoption all those years ago? Summer Day. At the start of a long hot day in July 1947 a young boy shoots his father. How will he cope with the consequences? How will the rest of the family and their friends in the small rural community they inhabit?
