Product Description
Warning: Contains strong language throughout and some adult content.
Orphan, son, brother, friend, husband, father, workaholic, alcoholic, music journalist and occasional hero; Tom Kinsella lives life to the full despite a tragic past.
In Bobby's Boy, Tom travels the length and breadth of Europe and the USA and generally has the time of his life. Along the way walks in his father's shoes, puts a few old ghosts to rest and learns to accept that he's not all bad.
With a few twists and turns, plenty of Scottish humour, some romance, a few tears and some fun along the way, Bobby's Boy explores the limits of what a person can achieve with the power of determination and how love can make all the difference in a person's life.
Set in the 1970s through to the early twenty-first century and in Paris, London, LA, New York and Bellshill, Bobby's Boy is the tale of one young man's determination to rise above loss and tragedy to build a successful life for himself.
From the author of Nae'body's Hero and Paddy's Daddy
Inspired by the music of Rage Against the Machine, Hopeless Heroic and Nirvana; the courage of Gareth Thomas and the writing of David Lapham, Geoff Johns, John Niven, Christopher Brookmyre, Irvine Welsh, Frank Miller, Mark Millar and Grant Morrison.

About the Author
My name's Mark Wilson. I'm a married father-of-one (so far) born in Bellshill, Lanarkshire and currently living in a little house in Edinburgh with my little wife and our son Patrick. Amongst other things I currently teach Biology in a Fife school, making me a full-time dad, full-time teacher and a part-time writer. I drink a lot of coffee. I spend all of my spare time with my wife and son, listening to music, watching movies and reading the occasional graphic novel. I used to do a lot of exercise, but somehow haven't been finding the time since my son came along. These days, I'm more likely to be found with a glass of red wine in my hand than a dumb-bell. I read more books, listen to more music and watch more movies than is probably healthy. I love writing more than any other activity. My fictional novel "Bobby's Boy" as well as the non-fiction "Paddy's Daddy" are available now on Amazon. I have three other books in progress. You can visit me at www.markwilsonbooks.com
