This is my new thriller from Darkstroke. It is a dark crime story, one that demands a painful journey of discovery for the key characters. Set in Belfast at the time of the Bloody Friday bombings, it pulls no punches. Writing it demanded everything I had learned from my personal history as a novelist.
MEMORIES Luscious Books is at the forefront of producing memory journals for older people. These books make ideal birthday, anniversary or Christmas presents for parents and grandparents.
A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES is aimed at those older people who already have clear recollections of events in their earlier lives, all waiting to be put on record. The pages are logically set out, providing space for the reader to write down those precious memories. We believe it to be one of the best of its sort on the market. It is available in standard print or large print.
I REMEMBER THAT differs from other memory journals. It is aimed at those older people who need just a little help to bring their memories back into sharper focus. It does this by using ‘memory triggers’. It briefly describes a variety of news events that have occurred between 1945 and 2000 and then asks the reader:
Where were you living when this news broke?
What were you doing at that time?
What was happening within your family?
How did this news affect you?
And so on. This book is available in standard print or large print. It is also produced in UK and US versions, with news items appropriate to each country.
If you are unsure which book would best suit your parents or grandparents, why not buy both for them? Don’t let their precious memories get lost as your relatives grow older. Future generations will thank you for capturing those life stories now.
