Mike O’Hare spent all his working life in the printing trade, one way or the other. Starting out in the newspaper industry as an indentured apprentice compositor, he progressed swiftly through all the manufacturing aspects of the composing room.
These were in the old ‘hot metal’ days where a piece of metal type was a real item and to produce it meant operating the most marvellous machinery that had ever been invented.
Once technology had taken a firm hold of how a newspaper should be produced and the computer became king, Mike decided that it was time to move on, unable to embrace a finished product which had no soul. The electronic era had arrived and he had no idea at the time how much he would be exploiting it as a writer in later life, whilst in the meantime he moved over to sales – in printing of course.
He finished up running his own successful small business as a print broker and took early retirement to carry on a hobby that had always interested him. Writing became a passion and although he had always had a book inside of him, it never seemed to get off the ground. Instead he wrote short stories and articles for magazines and newspapers.
One day, by chance, he came across a Canadian author through the Internet. They discovered a great deal in common between them and daily discussions soon evolved into something quite unique. He happened to mention that book still lying dormant in his head and revealed his innermost thoughts to Elfreda who eventually became his writing partner after she learned of the amazing story behind the man.
Mike and Elfreda are now ready to give their book to the world. Titled “The Meadow”, the novel leans heavily towards the spiritual aspects of life. In the meantime Mike would like to share and discuss various subjects about life and, of course, the message that is encrypted within “The Meadow” will never be far from his thoughts.
