About the Book

They say fact is stranger than fiction. In By Conscience Bound & The Boy In Wellington Boots the facts inspire the story... Malta - 1975. Sean Toothe, an emaciated kid, holds onto his dying mother's hand as she exhorts him to look after his five-year old brother after she's gone. The kid's 14 years old and with his mother dead and buried, he's under the care of a brutal step-father. Making his colourful escape from the island, he turns his back on the life of hunger and beatings, and with the arrogance of youth easily forgets the promise he'd made. Fast forward 20 years, when a visitor brings Sean devastating news of the brother he abandoned. The promise he made to his mother and the nagging conscience so desperately in need of salving, plunges him headlong into a whirlwind adventure, bringing him into contact with an evil underworld inhabited by violent gangsters, drug barons and... the love of a beautiful woman. By Conscience Bound is a heartbreaking story of love, adventure and bitter revenge. It sprints internationally and breathlessly through time and memory before hurtling to its spectacular and brutal climax. The Boy In Wellington Boots, is a true story and the author's personal inspiration behind By Conscience Bound. It faithfully recounts a childhood lost as seen through the eyes of the young boy who lived through it, and with the hindsight of the adult author. The story charts the fallout for a family plucked from British suburbia and deposited in a strange and far off land where they are torn apart by infidelity, poverty and sheer physical hardship. The Boy In Wellington Boots describes in painful, but frank detail, a young kid's struggle against the neglect, hunger and abuse visited upon him by circumstance. This uncompromising true story goes on to follow the author's onward journey to maturity and beyond.
