See my new guest entry on the Liberties Press’s blog as I ask myself an apparently obvious question:

If between the ages of 18 and 31, I spent a total of eight years outside Ireland either living in, or visiting, 24 countries on six continents – why did I persist for so long in writing a book about working and travelling in Australia while in my ‘20s?  Why has that time and place held such a fascination with me for so long?
