An Inconvenient Voice by Ian Thompson

An Inconvenient Truth is the true story of Maggie Houlihan, who chose poverty over an abusive marriage and escaped to a small coastal town where she would ascend to become the most polarizing public figure in its history.It's the story of a remarkable woman written by her husband after her death. It's the tale of two strangers who married for the sake of a Green Card, then unexpectedly fell in love and stayed together another twenty-eight years. It's the story of Maggie's universal compassion, her inability to say no to anyone she found suffering, especially the dozens of animals she rescued and homed or adopted. It's the tale of her election to city council in a seaside village and her unrelenting fight to preserve the town from the forces of greed and self-serving power, in spite of libel and death threats she received along the way. It's a story that stands as a testimony to the triumph of good over evil. But most of all, it's a love letter, a tribute to Maggie Houlihan's amazing character by the man who knew her best.

Ian Thompson was born in Liverpool, England, but grew up in a tiny town in Cheshire for the majority of his childhood. He went into textiles for a career that included laboratory testing and quality control. Give him some carpet, garment, or curtain fibers, as well as a microscope and some chemicals, and he'll tell you everything you need to know! He enjoys fast-paced adventures with strong and interesting characters, gritty action, and unexpected twists. Getting whisked away into someone else's imagination has always appealed to him, inspiring him to construct his own places.

PARADISE EXHUMED, his debut novel, was published in February 2015 and is a violent whodunit thriller set in modern-day Britain about a pair of investigative reporters on the hunt for a ruthless and seemingly relentless killer. The first book in the Ray Hammett Thriller series is PARADISE EXHUMED. Ian's second work, AGE OF DARKNESS - VOLUME I: THE APOCALYPSE BEGINS, is the first installment of a war-torn action fantasy series. Three Short Stories From The Age Of Darkness were published after that.

GOD OF WAR is a cause-and-effect story in which events from two thousand years ago have horrifying consequences now. During the Roman occupation of Ancient Britain, an ambitious man attempts to build something spectacular for Nero's gladiatorial arenas.

A group of cavers in modern-day Britain find the results of Roman efforts... They discover that they are being pursued by a beast that kills to feed and gratify its vicious urges. His next books launched his Short Horror Stories Series, which features short stories packed with thrills, chills, and unexpected turns. GLANCING BLOW, a story about a simple mishap with horrific effects, launched in October 2015.
