Books published by Maverick House

A collection of stark, brutal and courageous stories written by some of Ireland and Britain''s most renowned journalists, camera men and broadcasters. They write about how their careers impacted their mental health, left some with PTSD, others anxiety and depression - and even made some walkaway from their hard-fought for dream jobs after being worn down by a conveyor belt of trauma. These are stories of vulnerability, courage and resilience, stories that will resonate with journalists worldwide.

In a not too distant future, much of Ireland''s midwest has been flooded by rising sea water. Life goes on, people adapt, live their lives, survive. Ram and his friends spend their days scavenging and selling the scrap they find amongst the flooded world. After a stroke of good fortune, they secure a job laying fibre for a corporate contractor, but decide to take one last wade down into the glen. What appears on the surface to be an opportunity for a lucrative payday takes a dark turn when a group of armed men close in and the secrets of the glen are slowly revealed.
