It’s All About Me, Me, Me!

I don’t think anyone should write their autobiography until after they’re dead.
- Samuel Goldwyn

My name is Wilfried Voss and my sixth sense tells me I am still alive. I was born and raised in Germany, but for the past twenty years my home and my heart have been in beautiful New England. I share my birthday with celebrities like THE KING (Elvis Presley) and David Bowie, which is January 8 (not the same year, though).

My background is in Electrical Engineering and my special skills allowed me to travel all over the world, until I found my home here in the United States. I got married to an Irish-American green-eyed red-head – Hey, what are the chances to find Irish folks in Massachusetts… – and on May 27th, 2007 I was blessed with the birth of my son, Patrick. The same year I was also officially received into the Episcopal Church – We’re not Catholic, but that is another story and shall be told another time. The next adventure will be to finally become an American citizen.

A Czech proverb says “Learn a new language and you gain another soul” and I can say, despite being familiar with the English language for many years, living in the United States has gained me another soul. I started writing and publishing technical literature, while still maintaining my job as the president of a business that sells industrial electronics components. The first book helped me to overcome the writer’s fear of being published and I will continue this line of work, because it is rewarding, not due to the monetary compensation, but, egoistically and arrogantly, for my mind.

In 2009 I published my fist novel The Bleeding Hills through Copperhill Media. Currently I am working on two novels at the same time. The progress of American Male Prostitute can be read without charges at my blog FrogenYozurt.com. My third novel, The Eleventh Incarnation, is still in the research phase, and its progress will also be posted on my personal blog.

The Irish War is officially a part of history, but not for Finnean Whelan, an IRA veteran of almost 40 years. British Intelligence has produced evidence that he is the mastermind behind a conspiracy to assassinate the First Minister of Northern Ireland. Finn is protected in his exile in the United States after having worked for the CIA. Consequently, British Intelligence has come up with a plan to lure Finn back into their jurisdiction, Northern Ireland, by revealing the identity of the man who is ultimately responsible for the killing of Finn’s wife, Shauna. Here they hope not only to apprehend him, but also lead them to another conspirator, Martin Sheehan, who hides in the Northern provinces. For Whelan this is not only a mission of revenge, but marks the beginning of a journey into the past and the return to the one true love: Ireland.
