"Final Request" is a modern love story set in Ireland, reminiscent of “A Walk To Remember,” by Nicholas Sparks and “Beaches,” by Iris Rainer Dart.
(Chapter Excerpt)
It has been ten years since I saw Maura Dougall, but our once torrid past remained undeniable and hauntingly irrepressible. Until her unexpected call last month, I had not even thought about returning back to Ireland or ever seeing her again. Unusually remorseful, Maura genuinely conveyed how much she regretted ever leaving me but hoped that we could possibly reunite. Mysteriously vague, she mentioned something about changes but would only offer an explanation face to face.
"My Friend Cloudy,"features the whimsical travel adventures of a young boy and his new friend, Cloudy, as they discover well-known sights and cultures both close to home and around the world.
Inspired by my own cloud-gazing experiences and daring to dream as a young boy, my book encourages children to use their imagination as a vehicle to take them on magical journeys of discovery to enrich their lives.
