The price we pay for the life we make.Katie, a successful investment banker and media commentator, self-harms each morning before work. Nice Guy Mike - the only man she ever allowed get close to her - steps out of her past and back into her life, unearthing secrets and memories that long lay buried in the Arizona desert."There was a numbness in these old scars that meant her skin had lost its sense of touch (wasn't that the point?), but it hurt her inside, in her tummy it seemed, and only on really bad days would she deliberately open old sores. But most days, and this was one of those days, just a little nick of a reminder would do."What others are saying about Where the Rain Gets In: 'He has fashioned both an engaging casino-sting/caper story and a wiser, psychologically detailed tale of hard-won success, unrequited love and hidden personal pain.' Hugh Tynan, Irish Examiner'White has described his characters brilliantly and, in a feat that is not easy for any male author, has drawn a picture of an incredibly believable female character. Although White's characters appear to be damaged and hurt beyond repair, this book leaves the reader with a sense that there is hope. Very well written and with such a fantastic title, how could you resist?' Bibliofemme'It's a challenging book about a woman who cuts herself. It helps you get inside the character's head and understand self-loathing. It's exceptionally well-written.' Martina Devlin, Irish Daily Star

A book birthed from things my mama would say to me, in the form of parables and stories to inspire, confuse and correct me. At that time, I believed them to be stuff that older people said to make you think they were crazy, but as I grew older, I began to know them as sayings to live, learn and love by. A book of translation and lessons learned while navigating this thing called life.

How far would you go to protect the ones you love?A young woman disappears. Her partner Gregory, under suspicion from the police of having done her harm, is left to care for her son Tomas from a previous relationship. The race is on for Gregory to find the woman he loves before the authorities take Tomas away.What others are saying about An Accident Waiting to Happen: 'Adrian White's debut is irresistible . . . it's like life.' Afric Hamilton, Irish Examiner'If you were to judge a book by its cover, you might think An Accident Waiting to Happen is a touchy-feely boy's book in the Tony Parsons/Nick Hornby tradition. However, appearances can be deceptive and this is a rather unpleasant book with a remarkably unsympathetic narrator. Dark, unsettling - and definitely not touchy-feely.' Anna Carey, Image Magazine'A tough subject, desertion, handled with compelling simplicity as a father and son cope alone in a rough world. Extraordinarily engaging and sensitive, wringing one's emotions.' Sarah Broadhurst, The Bookseller'His novel mixes gripping sections with an internal monologue filled with anxiety, confusion and weakness. Disturbing and sometimes irresistible, this is a story that will find a responsive audience in the growing ranks of dispossessed fathers.' Lucille Redmond, Irish Independent'White offers a porthole on the male dilemma - the pressure to plumb his emotions and articulate them, the quandary of a sense of alienation from his environment. His unflinching honesty, coupled with an accessible writing style, produce an assured debut.' Martina Devlin, Dublin Evening HeraldAbout the AuthorAdrian White is an English writer who has lived with his family in Ireland for over twenty-five years. An Accident Waiting to Happen was first published by Penguin Books, as was his second novel, Where the Rain Gets In. Both are now available as ebooks. His third novel is called Dancing to the End of Love and is published by Black & White Publishing of Edinburgh.
