About the Author

Robert Connolly was born in Dublin City, Ireland, and spent his childhood and teenage years in County Laois, about eighty kilometres south-west of Dublin. Thereafter, due to unfavourable circumstances, he became a wanderer, taking whatever type of work was available, but he always had a close affinity with nature and the land. Robert studied many subjects on his travels, one being psychology, which gave him an insight into deep thought and that has been his guiding light through life. He also studied modern languages, French and German. However, the author was cultivating the art of poetry composition through the difficult years and has accumulated a collection of poems, but hasn't yet attempted to have them published. Robert supposes that he could be looked upon as something of an unknown quantity. At the moment he is working on a second novel.
