From the author of 'Chasing Shadows', 'Arthur's Dead' and 'A Letter to a Lucky Man'. This fourth book from Northern Ireland based writer, Thomas Jobling, is a short step away from his normal nautical driven novels. Rather, this piece of work contains four stand alone short stories connected only by his particular style of character building and a focus on the individual's ability to overcome adversity. FIRST TIMER - Darren taking virgin steps into the world of after-office parties! INCIDENT at TWISTED ELBOW - Will Abernethy and Phil Shawcross are joint owners of a race car attempting to win the 'Twisted Elbow' hill climb. Will thinks the car's performance is an issue, but young Shawcross has other things on his mind. LEAP of FAITH - While Sandy Hayes awaits the arrival of the Scottish ferry that will once more transport him from his hometown, he reminisces about his boyhood days and one in particular. When the teenage Sandy rushed to catch another ferry, a much smaller one that already held Siobhan, the girl of his dreams... and Billy, his rival in love. A NOT SO TENDER TRAP - Misogyny, it seems, is a word yet to be invented in the Marbella party-town where so many ex-pats have congregated. ENJOY
Autorenporträt
Thomas Jobling is a retired businessman and experienced yachtsman turned novelist who lives in the port town of Larne, Northern Ireland.His debut book, Chasing Shadows, was published in 2014 and made an immediate impact in the nautical world of competitive sailing. His second novel, Arthur's Dead, again with a maritime backdrop, is a thrilling but tragic love story that received positive reviews, including from as far afield as Australia's leading yachting magazine, Afloat.Prior to these books, his first published work was a 'how-to' planning and management e-manual titled, The Big Event. Its aim was to assist with the organisation of sailing regattas and championship level events. It earned the badge of a 'best practice' document from both the Royal Yachting Association and the Irish Sailing Association. He also wrote, Champions & High Achievers, which charts the 'great and the good' from the inception of the East Antrim Boat Club on Larne Lough in 1950, up to 2013. It can be found on the club's website www.eabc.club.
