Chapter 28 – THE PATH TO SALVATION New York City, December 24th, 1865 "'From the moment we first lost sight of the American shore, till we landed at Liverpool, our gallant steamship was the theatre of an almost constant discussion of the subject of slavery..."

Chapter 27 – SURRENDER AT THE TOWN HALL Liverpool, November 6th, 1865 "‘The carriage waits for them by the dock for the short journey up Water Street, to complete the formalities in what he now knows is the very last act of the war. ‘This damned world is going to pot, Irvine.’"

❄️ Liverpool, Nov 1865. Rain, sleet, hail — the Mersey ready to freeze. George’s Dock is as far from Dixie as it gets… 🌊 👉 amzn.to/44y6ooy #HistoricalFiction #Liverpool #CivilWar

⏳ “They must both make the most of their borrowed time.” Liverpool, 1865: Harriet & Dudley walk beneath shadows of April, armed with a telegram from Adams Sr. 👉 amzn.to/44y6ooy #HistoricalFiction #BookTok

Chapter 24 – THE HISTORY OF STUPID IDEAS Liverpool, October 24th 1865 "Grace’s carriage trundles down Water Street towards George’s Landing Stage on this murky, still morning. Tall masts and smoke stacks peek through the gloop. Here they are, again." 👉 Get the book here: amzn.to/44y6ooy

Chapter Twenty Two - ALL DOWN TO THE CROWN AGAIN Liverpool, October 19th, 1865 "They enter through the double doors. Diarmuid is on the other side of the bar, serving Aston a pint of fresh milk. They’ve a cow out back, and it is a nice sideline from the booze."

Chapter Twenty One - THE EUSTON EXPRESS "American intelligence got them this information, but if the British are to find a smoking gun, the perfect rogue agent is Harriet Farrell: disaffected, unhinged and even a bit Irish, all of which has a convincing ring to it." 👉: amzn.to/44y6ooy

Chapter Twenty - The Dead Rabbits Liverpool, 17th October 1865 "Yet again, Harriet considers sapping the bitch right here and now to extract the information, then going in gung ho."

Chapter FIVE "A sweet and sultry morning in the city. Bits of masonry, splinters of wood and roof tiles scattered about the ground indicate that a big blow has just passed. It has freshened up the air just about enough to make it tolerable for the two young ladies who alight."

Chapter 2 "Bang. Dang. Got him. Actually. Got him. Almost as dammit square in the back of his head. The slug thudded into his brain and there ain’t a man alive who might survive that, twitch, groan and splutter as he may." 👉 Get the book here: amzn.to/44y6ooy

"It is a chilly spring evening to be sitting out on the porch, but she does so every evening, come wind, rain or shine. The rickety wicker rocking chair creaks as she moves back and forth, aligning its motion with the brooding swell of the Irish Sea." 👉 Get the book here: amzn.to/44y6ooy

A flâneur's adventure down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork; a long, bustling drag of shops, cafés and bars that reminds me so much of Bold Street in Liverpool. Both streets have shifted over time from retail to culture and social life, but a strong political conscience endures and bubbles away.

Liverpool’s Mann Island wasn’t always glass & steel. Once, it was Nova Scotia Dock, a small basin alive with schooners, coal barges & timber from Canada. Now vanished beneath modern buildings and overpriced lattes. #MannIsland #NovaScotiaDock 📖 www.authorjohnmaxwell.com

Liverpool's long-forgotten Nova Scotia district, now the site of Mann Island, was once a lively dockside hub and shanty at the heart of the city's maritime trade. Named after its Canadian namesake, it prospered through the timber trade that fuelled Liverpool's shipbuilding. #historicliverpool
