About this ebook

When worlds collide the price can be fatal ...

It’s the eighties and Nick is a young London-based widower with a respectable banking job and a demanding two-year-old daughter whom he adores. Still reeling from the death of his beloved wife, Nick wants nothing more than to honour her memory by bringing up his daughter in a safe and loving home. When he begins an unlikely relationship with Eamon, a gay teacher visiting from Paris, the odds are already against them. But Eamon has a rather chequered past and the couple are about to be tested in ways they could never have imagined. Soon they are thrown into the unwelcome and often cruel world of drug dealing, pornography, turf wars, international money laundering and murder, and it will take all their strength and courage to protect themselves and those they love. From suburbia, to London’s east end and the seedy Parisian underground, Chasing Rainbows charts the journey of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Anthony Berry

I was originally born in Dublin but brought up in West London where I lived as a child and then North London as an adult. London is a great place and has everything you need to get the most out of life but it does get congested and a little tiresome. The Victoria, Northern and Piccadilly lines tend to take you to and from everywhere you want to be but having spent far too many hours on them, the south-coast and the Old Town of Hastings is now my preferred location. When I moved down here about four years ago I was surprised to find so many artists, writers, poets, musicians, dancers, playwrights, singers and numerous other individuals with a creative bent so not to be outdone, I joined a local writers group and haven't looked back since. Writing has become an integral part of my life and for those that wonder whether or not it keeps your mind active then I can confirm that it truly is the case. In my former life I have worked for the Electricity Supply Industry, the Metropolitan Police and latterly Adult Social Care and I feel that each has given me a certain amount of knowledge and experience to string a few words together and come up with a coherent tale which, in some cases may seem quite believable. I enjoy comedy, fantasy and mystery and am currently attempting to bring the three genre's together in one space. But we'll see how that develops. My first novel 'Chasing Rainbows' is set in the 1980's and deals with the consequences of smuggling drugs. 'A Eurovision Calling' is a comedy set in the fictitious European Nation State of Bostrovia and who knows - perhaps there will be a country of that name one day and somewhere near the former Yugoslavia. It's about the Eurovision Song Contest and brings together all the usual cliches with an unwelcome twist. And 'The View from the Pier' gathers together a few tales from my new home at the seaside and attempts to showcase (some of) the history of Hastings Pier. Writing gives me a great deal of freedom and, as long as I include the appropriate disclaimer, it opens up a vast array of choices and worlds which I might originally have found hard to imagine. So I say keep the quill moving or the fingers banging away at the keys because a little escapism makes sure that the pen remains mightier than the sword.
