L'autore

It was 1939 when Frank's grandfather worked in the Dagenham Ford factory in London's East end, and it was here at that time his mother was born. During the sixties both his grandmothers often recounted to him a tome worth of the past. His father's mother would recount local history, of how his great grandfather was the last 'Great Islander' to be evicted from his 'Donegal' land in Cork Harbour by the British whilst his other grandmother cross river described fascinating tales of the Blitz. He was hooked and couldn't wait for his weekly Victor VC cover story, his younger brothers vying for the discarded innards. By ten years of age he had collected his first comprehensive history of the Second World War, and even first attempted to write his account two years later. The road of life saw him rebelling, going to sea and on acquiring his qualifications, emigrating from Ireland in the early eighties as did generations before. After travelling extensively, he settled down to married life in England and successfully set up business ashore before health issues a decade later forced another career change into programming. During his time travelling, working, learning and living amongst others, the University of Life kept bringing ever more anomalies to the fore with people of all ages viewing and gullibly accepting as fact, storylines fed by those not averse to highlighting others short-comings whilst feathering their own particular niche. Naturally, this read is very different to that of nearly four decades ago, not least because recent serendipitous events have played an unforeseen hand which he feels is not just another of his life's adventures but more to do with destiny! So he says, let's do it then?
