When I first stepped out of the warmth and safety of my mother's kitchen on the stormy south coast of Ireland, there was no such tag as 'Backpacker'. I left home with just a few pounds in my pocket, my passport, and the naiveté of innocent curiosity. Like a blank slate, I was ready to be written on as I hitchhiked away across the world. There are many and varied stories here: tales from the Highlands, the long and lonely roads through Europe, hitchhiking southeast to the Greek Islands, and dangerous times in the Middle East and North Africa. There are accounts of two overland journeys from Ireland to Australia - eastwards thru Afghanistan, India and Southeast Asia, and westwards via the Americas - north, central and south - and the Pacific Islands. The book begins with the travels of the Lincot Man in outback Australia sprinkled with accounts of early life in Ireland. There are more recent tales of rough travel through the islands of Indonesia and the Philippines - travelling with the locals on slow trains, terrible buses, and cockroach infested boats - to places 'where no human hand ever set foot!' There are several different aspects and colours to this book, and humor mixed with a bit of gravitas. I hope you will travel with me to the end - 386 pages and thousands of miles of roads. If you’ve never read a book, ask your beloved to read it to you, I promise you more laughs than tears. Note: Paperback &amp; eBook contain Maps and Photos

John T. Ahern's award-winning debut novel "The Carnation Street Life Estate" is a suspenseful thrill ride that readers of Christian fiction will love. In this story, unintended consequences derailed Marge McAllistar's gift to Frank Wilson. The life estate she bequeathed in her Will and Trust was supposed to make his life better. The rest of her estate was supposed to make her lone heir, Bethany's life better too. But Marge could not predict how her life estate gift would lead to multiple murders and land Frank in jail. With a promise, an unlikely ally's help, and prayers a multi-layers conspiracy is unveiled, and Frank finds himself desperately asking the Lord for forgiveness. Life is going well for Frank Wilson. He escaped his previous life as Kevin Leland and people no longer want to kill him. He has good friends, a church, a great place to live near the Pacific Ocean, and makes a good living as a finish carpenter. Little does he realize that a life estate for his apartment would upend all that. While the life estate was meant to be Marge McAllistar's gift to Frank, it brought with it malignant side effects. Marge would never have granted Frank such a gift if she had known what fury it brought. But how could she have predicted the intense anger it would ignite in Samuel, her niece Bethany's husband. Or how he would become obsessed with driving Frank out of the now rent-free apartment his wife owns. Frank's tolerance to Samuel's harassment tests his Christian witness. Especially as Samuel's anger and frustration escalate. Unbeknownst to Frank or Bethany is that Samuel's anger and frustration lure him into a criminal enterprise. The men Samuel brings into his and Bethany's life are more dangerous than he ever imagined - and in this Christian thrill-ride, they must face a life-threatening and faith-testing challenge like no other.
