So, he then spent six months doing nothing but writing The Quay, living on dust and enthusiasm, and rarely showering. This was well-received (the book, that is, not the questionable personal hygiene). Then sometime after that, he added The Storm to the series and now works with lifeboats – these two things are purely coincidental.
Des Lynam OBE spent a long career as a sports broadcaster, mostly with the BBC. Lately, he has turned to writing, of which this little effort is an example…
