SUMMARY:Julian O’ Neill – The Lines We Cross: Finding local war heroes and how this book evolved.
DESCRIPTION:What might happen when men who fought alongside one another in the First World War returned home to Ireland and found themselves in another kind of conflict? All are welcome to come and hear Julian talk about the research and creation of his first historical novel. \nThe novel begins at the Somme in 1916 and follows the main characters through the turbulent years ahead. \nEighteen-year-old Ulsterman Billy McBride leaves his family farm for the battlefields of the Somme\, where a single encounter changes three lives forever. \nRuari O’Donnell\, a young Catholic with a dark secret\, saves Billy’s life\, not knowing that fate will bring them together once more…on opposite sides of another conflict. \nMarion Maguire\, pregnant and alone after being unwittingly abandoned\, faces devastating loss and unthinkable choices that lead her from a Magdalene laundry to a world of gunrunners and rebels. \nThe Lines We Cross brings the killing fields of France and the turbulent struggle for Irish Independence vividly to life. \nAn evocative and visceral novel that doesn’t shy away from the realities of war and conflict. \nJulian was born and brought up in Northern Ireland\, trained as a dentist\, and worked for six years in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery before specialising in orthodontics. He became an NHS Consultant in Northamptonshire\, where he still lives. \nHe has s a long-standing interest in twentieth-century military history and has travelled extensively through Northern Europe\, visiting battlefields\, cemeteries and memorials. At university\, he was a member of his University’s Air Squadron; the RAF taught him how to fly an aeroplane. Later\, after moving to London\, he joined the TA\, where the army tried to teach him how to jump out of one. \nThe Lines We Cross is his first novel\, but he has co-authored over forty scientific publications as well as nine Master’s theses\, all hopefully considered as non-fiction! \nJulian is currently working on the sequel to The Lines We Cross as well as a travel book. \nThis book will be launched on the 6th November and available from the Oundle Bookshop after this date\, and at the event.
