From This Day Forward - Deasy, Denis

. .

Résumé :
Harry's world has moved on. He is approaching 30 and is engaged to Bernadette. The idea of getting married is fine as long it doesn't clash with reruns of Family Fortunes on UK Gold. The church is booked and there's pork pies aplenty for afterwards. Meanwhile, the couple are busy with Lee Mack's dubious beard, car park surveys and a pilgrimage to the baggage carousel at Cork airport. As the big day looms ever closer, Harry's bowel movements raise doubts about his desire to tie the knot. Will he and Bernadette have their happy ever after?...

Biographie:
I have self-published four books now. I have two sons at both ends of the autistic spectrum and, as I sometimes feel that the autistic media representation is not always accurate, I decided to write a fictional book about a father looking after his autistic son. Although this is a fictional storyline, it is based on my life's experiences, so I knew that my representation of autistic behaviours were true to life. I enjoyed the writing experience so much that I decided to write a trilogy of these same characters - detailing the issues of an autistic child growing up into manhood. I also wanted to highlight the strain bringing up an autistic child has on a marriage. In these books I write about some serious topics but there is also a lot of humour throughout. It's needed. I am just about to publish a fourth book with all new characters. Personally I have been happily married for thirty-six years and I work in IT.

My fourth and fifth books have all new characters, again exploring the impact of living with autism. Personally, I have been happily married for thirty-seven years and I work in IT....
