Gerry lives and works in the Ammochostos area of Cyprus and has spent most of his life writing about one thing or another, either on-line or on paper. The groundwork for his first real book, The Grand Theory, was laid over 35 years ago and 2,600 miles away.
After 25 years spent mostly in emergency-room nursing, family life with two children, learning Greek and designing websites, he finally remembered leaving things hanging and found the time get a little more serious about the whole literary thing and so The Grand Theory came into being.
Cats & the Coastal Path followed afterwards from four years of autumn/winter weekends spent wandering up and down the boardwalk along the coastline of eastern Cyprus with his wife, Gina.
Another Cats & the Coastal Path will doubtless follow once enough images have been amassed and ideally when the mess of the new marina at the St Nicolas limanaki* is cleared away so we have more coastal path to work with. And hopefully more cats.
Other than writing, his hobbies include cats, walking, video games, photography, Russian pocket watches and being nearly retired.
A prequel is already underway for The Grand Theory, but the pace will need to be picked up as if this one takes thirty years then the author will need be completing it in the afterlife. But for the time being, scroll down the page for samples of both books and for news on what is coming next and when.
*Limani – a port. limanaki – a small port. It used to be quite picturesque but then they decided to concrete it over to attract rich yacht owners.
Sad and funny at one and the same time.
