Members of the Norwegian Resistance Movement are also aware of what he is up to and they are out to avenge the deaths of their relatives the Colonel murdered during the occupation. Will the Colonel get his gold or will justice be done. Interview with the AuthorQ - Why have you written this story about the Tirpitz?A - The largest naval vessel of the Kriegsmarine is purely the focal point around which this novel is based. Hans Gerber, a Petty Officer on the ship, sees his brother abandoned and left to die through the actions taken by an SS Colonel. The Colonel even has Hans arrested for trying to rescue his brother. What a terrible death to be left to drown inside an upturned battleship. Hans promises his brother that he will avenge his death if it is the last thing that he does.Q - Who is the main character in the novel?A - The story follows Hans Gerber's life from his birth in Wilhelmshaven, Germany in 1912, until he returns to Norway to avenge his brother's death. He joins the Navy at the age of sixteen serving in peacetime and in war until 1944 when the Tirpitz is sunk. He is not the warring type and struggles to understand the politics of Hitler.Q - What is the main theme of the book?A - No matter who you are, you will eventually have to pay for evil deeds carried out against your fellow man. The SS Colonel was responsible for many war crimes during the Second World War while a member of the German force occupying Norway. He escapes prosecution for his crimes at the end of the war; however, Hans and the Norwegian Resistance Movement are after him. Six years later he makes a mistake and they get him.Q - Why should people buy your book?A - It is an emotional tale as you follow Hans who is intent on avenging his brother's death.

The prose poems in Patrick Swaney's debut collection, Hand Over Hand Over the Edge of the World, are suspended between a world we think we know and a world where anything can happen. Manatees take over a bathtub, an egg becomes a kite, a man finds a warning in an empty lot and brings it home to raise with his wife. The absurdity at the heart of this collection is rooted in an impulse to examine the rituals of living. Using language that is disarmingly direct, these compact narratives consistently surprise and clarify. In their search for meaning, the poems find truths in the unexpected that remind us what we have in common. "Patrick Swaney's warm, strange, precise poems are causing me to rethink myrelationship with the line."- Kyle Minor, author of Praying Drunk"In the tradition of Russell Edson, whose work this book brings to mind, these prosepoems never fail to disorient, surprise and delight. Sly and disarming, they areintellectual queries couched as fabulist vignettes, which, at their best, reveal ourordinary world as the strange, absurd, mysterious experience it truly is."- Mark Cox, author of Knowing

St Patrick is one of the most famous saints of all time. Thousands of people with no direct Irish connection celebrate St Patrick’s Day, parading along the streets of New York, Boston, Chicago, San Antonio, Texas and Sydney, where St Patrick’s Day is a national holiday. These celebrations are the latest version of the cult of St Patrick, which has persisted in different forms since his death on 17 March, 462AD. But who was St Patrick, and how much of what we know about him is fact, how much legend? This book looks at the historical man and the evidence of his writings, the myths and the apocryphal stories, and describes the social changes that led in the 18th century to his emergence as a symbol of Irish nationalism. Patrick: From Patron Saint to Modern Influencer is a fascinating and lively portrait of the man who converted pagan Ireland to Christianity – a fresh, sometimes startling examination of the folklore and traditions that have developed around the saint through the ages. First published in 1989 in the UK and USA, this fully updated edition features new photographs and illustrations and will be an indispensable companion for anyone seeking to understand the role of St Patrick in forging modern Irish identity.
