About the Book

Finally, the greatest story never told gets told. Join one man for the adventure of his life and, in doing so, experience growing up in rural 1980s Ireland. Meet this man's eccentric group of friends, follow his escapades throughout Ireland and beyond, and gain an invaluable insight into the life of a lord… Lord of the Rams.

If you've had enough of 'famous footballer' or 'ex-Big Brother' biographies, then prepare yourself for something quite unlike anything you've ever read before. Lord of the Rams breathes new life into the biography genre via witty writing, acute observations and stories that will have you laughing out loud, wincing in your armchair and scratching your head in awe and disbelief.

Lord of the Rams gives an insightful account of life in Ireland over a 25-year period, which many people - regardless of nationality - will be able to identify with. Lord of the Rams: proof positive that a good read comes in many guises.
