I agonized for months over the ending and debated every word, every scene. The only difficulty for me was a long-standing doubt as to whether I had the ability to write the story and honour it as it deserved. The inspiration for the book was so incandescent that the whole novel was in my head within an amazing ten minute period. Anyway, I am very pleased with it in all its ‘otherworldness.’ It’s certainly unlike most other books out there today.ĭid you have any struggles or difficulties when you started writing?

Passion and delight are bound up in both, but teaching pays more. Greg Byrne is a teacher and author because he had little genetic choice in either.
