The Way Home (The Sweet Water Tales, #3) / The Sweet Water Tales (ePub)

Jack Carnegie has a passion for writing that began at an early age. After a childhood brought up on the streets of Liverpool where everyone has a tale to tell, it was inevitable that his upbringing would come out in one form or another. As a young lad, he and a number of friends ventured into music, forming the bands, 'Tested and Approved' and 'Gripweed', the latter named after John Lennon's character in the film 'How I Won the War'. They wrote their own songs and Jack found writing lyrics came easy, although as a musician he knew he had a long way to go but it was the writing he was good at and enjoyed the most. Sadly, the world was denied the joys of Tested and Approved and Gripweed and like many aspiring bands they went their own ways, open to life catching up with them in the form of families, mortgages and 9 to 5s. But Jack never lost the love of writing and harboured an ambition for many years before summoning up the courage to write a novel. It was whilst working as a taxi driver that he wrote his first book, 'The Blink of an Eye'.Whilst waiting for fares on various taxi ranks or taking a break in a cafe, he scribbled the notes that he would later convert to the story of the George family and their journey from sleepy town Sweet Water, Alabama, into the nuclear age. A city break in Krakow, Poland, provided the impetus for his second book, 'The Auschwitz Protocol' when a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau focused his mind on the enormity of what happened there. This was followed by a sequel, 'The Architect' about the continuing hunt for Nazis who had escaped justice.To date, Jack has added to these novels with two more books about the inhabitants of Sweet Water, 'Into the Blue', the story of a young man's journey to fulfil a dream to become an astronaut and 'The Way Home' which returns us to the welcoming arms of the George family as we follow them through the trials and tribulations of the Vietnam War days.
