Cillefoyle Park is a historical fiction novel based on the factual contact in the 1970´s between the IRA and the British Government. The Contact, Brendan Duddy was a Nationalist Derry businessman but also a pacifist. In contact with the local police commander and MI5/MI6 agents, he conveyed messages between the British Government and the head of the IRA in Derry. The barman in this book is based on Eamon McCann who is a socialist activist. Cillefoyle Park is about a bar man torn between the possibility of politics and the violence exploding on the streets of Derry, Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles in the mid 1970’s. That’s the treacherous dilemma that Dermot Lavery finds himself in when an innocent friendship with a neighbour – a schoolteacher leads them both into a precarious web of secrecy and intrigue with all sides of the endless conflict. Caught in a nightmare world of secret negotiations for a ceasefire, his life spins on the edge of clandestine friendship, love, meetings and certain death at any wrong turn - a constant struggle with his conscience and the challenge of simply staying alive. Research for this book includes Galway University sources- Brendan Duddy,s diaries, Niall Ó Dochartaigh´s research papers, Eamon McCann´s books, the CAIN archive at University of Ulster,and Hugh Vaughan´s teenage years growing up in 1970´s Derry, attending school in the no-go area of Creggan. Other multiple sources were also used.

Cillefoyle Park by Hugh Vaughan is a historical novel about a socialist activist/bar man torn between the possibility of politics and the violence exploding on the streets of Derry at the height of The Troubles in the early 1970's. That's the treacherous dilemma that Dermot Lavery finds himself in when an innocent friendship with a neighbour - Harry, a schoolteacher leads them both into a precarious web of secrecy and intrigue with all sides of the endless conflict. Caught in a nightmare world of secret negotiations for a ceasefire with an MI5 agent, the IRA, and when a disloyal IRA man becomes a Supergrass, his life spins on the edge of clandestine friendships, an affair with a neighbour, meetings with the IRA and certain death at any wrong turn from any of the groups who may not like the secret meetings for negotiations. It's a constant struggle with his conscience and the challenge of simply staying alive. The Supergrass names Dermot as an IRA man, so the police and Loyalist hit squads are after him, a message comes supposedly from the IRA to the British Government saying the IRA are ready to surrender - Dermot is blamed. The husband of his lady friend is after him - a perfect storm so he needs to leave, and he does - to Australia. He returns for his father's funeral and doesn't regret not saving the world, the workers or Northern Ireland but regrets not saving a child hood friend from suicide.

Fragments of an Analytic Pub Crawl traces the journey of my life, its memories, the events and the places where I have been and what I have read. The book title is not to be confused with the traditional drinking pub crawl, it is a way of describing the psychogeographical nature of this book. Patrick ffrench, the writer, described psychogeography as “an analytic pub crawl”, a lived experience – one drifts from one place to the next; observing, noting, reacting. We may drift through a city, or a life and absorb. This is the “dérive”. Charles Baudelaire named this person, the flâneur. Just as the past left traces in today’s built environment, so have we, and so have I. This book traces those memories, it’s part memoir, part history, and part essay, The subjects reflect a variety of interests: growing up in Northern Ireland, the Troubles, my life in IT education, Irish humour, life-skills, reading, writing, music, emigration, family, urban liveability, the pandemic and much much more.

A Bump on the Road is a book of short stories emanating from the innocent years before secondary school, and the growing out of it. A Bump on the Road reflects an observant child in Ireland attempting to understand the world around him. Family - parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and the wider community: The Church, The Troubles, secrets, ghost stories, leaving home, myths and legends, all this comes under the microscope of a child growing up. These stories are disguised memoirs - creative memoirs. Little nuggets of memories give birth to these flights of fancies. The reader is taken on a gamut of emotions in this rich and amusing journey of growing up in Ireland, brought evocatively to life by his wonderment of snow, holidays, playing, family, school, church and gradually moving away. Sorrow is never too far away. Website: http: //www.hughmvaughan.com

In 1914, twenty year old Eiric is droving for his father with his brothers, Ted and Joe, and Jimmy, the farm hand who always looks out for them. The boys yearn to break free from their controlling and aggressive father, but his manipulations stand in the way. Could the war in Palestine be a way for them to gain freedom? Interwoven with the past is the present day story of Harry who discovers he is going to be a father. It's a shock as he was on the verge of ending the relationship with Frances and, to top it off, his working life seems to be falling apart. He feels trapped by everything. Then his grandfather visits and Harry finds himself confiding in the old man, searching for the source of his doubts. In the process, he unleashes a torrent of bitterness and recrimination within a divided family, a family grappling with the fallout from the madness of an almost forgotten war. Two men's lives, one caught up in the hysteria of a war, both caught in a web of their infidelities and self-doubt, separated by a generation, bound together by the horrors of an insane conflict. Will they ever be able to live without guilt and reconcile deeds that span the generations?

December 1979, Annie was three months pregnant with her second child and in excruciating pain. She couldn't walk, couldn't stand, couldn't sleep. In just a year, Annie had gone from being an active young woman to almost entirely incapacitated. Going from one doctor to another, after 18 months, Annie finally had a diagnosis - it was a malignant Ewing's tumour the size of a tennis ball on her knee. Cancer. Almost in the same breath, Annie was told she would have to have her leg amputated above the knee and then told the baby wouldn't survive the surgery...they both defied the odds. She was 26 years old and 26 weeks pregnant. Annie has demonstrated amazing courage sharing her story and overcoming adversity, further setbacks and living life to the full, encouraging the reader to believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, even when you can't see it.

Kochi is a small coastal town in the southern most State of Kerala in India. Kochu Daveed, our hero, was born there in the 1950s, when India was still coming into grips with its new-found independence and going through the turmoil of becoming the largest democracy in the world. His ancestral family was wealthy, but his father lost everything by his laziness and extravagant lifestyle. Kochu Daveed had to discontinue his school studies and start earning his livelihood to put the bread on the table at least once a day. A personality clash with his father made him leave the house and travel to distant places to find his destiny. He had to face lots of challenges, but armed with his faith in his God, he overcame each one of those Goliaths. He returned home only when he felt that he had attained some sort of respect in his house. His dreams of a peaceful family life after his marriage to Theresa lay shattered when he found out that life had a lot more surprises up its sleeves and it was ready to test him further in his beliefs. These new challenges did shake his trust in his God and humanity but being a fighter all his life he did not lie down and accept his defeat but kept finding the inner strength to overcome the challenges one by one. As the saying goes, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going” Kochu Daveed embodies the fighting spirit in all of us who would like to become a success in life.

In present-day Australia, like many other countries, children must be at risk of significant harm (ROSH) to get a response from child protection. If a child meets ROSH, they will get a protective response. If a child does not reach ROSH, they won't. Paige is a typical young girl living with her mother, father and younger sister, Lily. Together, she and her best friend Sam are about to start high school, make friends, learn about relationships and start their journey through adolescence. Both girls' lives are dramatically altered and their circumstances increasingly deteriorate. Yet they remain beneath the ROSH. Paige and Sam find that they are forced to rely on their own combined resources to survive.
