Gerard Dunmoore was born in Manchester in 1965. After studying engineering at Hertfordshire he moved to Berlin where he was working and studying when the wall came down. He has an MBA from Rennes School of Business. Today he lives and teaches in Brittany, France.
He began writing short stories more than thirty years ago and contributes regularly to a poetry section in a regional monthly publication. The Water Man Legacy (genre: speculative fiction - 90,000 words) is the first in a series titled Tides of Time. The sequel, Wind and the Willows, will be published later this year - spoiler alert: it has little to do with waterway-wildlife camaraderie.
Set in the heart of Brittany, The Water Man Legacy, Gerard's debut novel, entwines surprising and fascinating nuggets of local history. It is an action thriller, pacey and full of suspense. Initial reviews describe it as:
"-an emotional rollercoaster of laughter and tears."
"-a novel not be read in a public place!"
This novel promises to take you on a journey. Enjoy it.
