On the Edge of the Loch · A Psychological Novel set in Ireland

A passionate search for freedom, sanity, and maybe love.

"One Irish autumn evening,

in a little picturesque train station,

I noticed a graceful young woman sitting alone;

she looked to be waiting for someone to arrive.

Over the next week I re-visited the station on

five occasions to photograph it in different light.

The woman was there every time,

still waiting.

On the day I was to leave

we somehow found ourselves closer to each other.

She smiled at me, warmly. I smiled back.

Our eyes held in a sort of silent conversation.

She leaned closer,

like she was about to talk to me, maybe tell me something.

But suddenly her head dropped,

she turned away.

I sensed that she was waiting for a dream,

a dream that would never show up.

But what if, I thought, what if that dream . . . "

Note to Reader:

This enigmatic woman inspired this 400-page novel. She’s too mysterious to be the main character, at first. So I wrote a bigger story around a driven man, and married the two.

Critics said: ‘Intense’, ‘Unpredictable’, ‘Probably the best two final chapters I've read’.

Jack Engelhard (author of Indecent Proposal) said: ‘A social and psychological cosmos of evocative writing. I could neither wait for nor predict the sublime outcome. Read it!’
