In the 70’s an extremist breakaway group of the IRA ambushed an army patrol in Armagh.
One soldier, although severely wounded, survived the attack. He was transferred to the military hospital at Erskine in Renfrewshire. It was later decided that he would be awarded a medal for bravery. Keaveney, the brutal leader of the breakaway group, was determined to finish the job. He started to plan to attack the medal ceremony. He took a quantity of semtex from an IRA cache. He planned a mock assault on the young sister of an electronic graduate to force him to cooperate in the design of the device. The IRA High Command muster a search squad to deal with the wild canon Keaveney. Northern Ireland Constabulary investigate a knee capping punishment and trace it back to Keaveney. This gives them information about the stolen explosives and they notify Strathclyde Police. Keaveney and his team put together the device which will monitor the ambience for a repeated sound pattern which will trigger it. Disguised as workmen they set it in place.
The IRA retribution squad, Northern Ireland Constabulary and Strathclyde Constabulary are all at full alert in the hunt for the group. The device is monitoring. Nothing can go wrong now. But a completely unforeseen and unpredictable occurrence takes place just prior to the ceremony and proves that Robert Burns belief that “The best laid schemes o’mice and men gang aft agley.”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My name is James Feeney, known as Jim to family and friends. I live in the West of Scotland with my wife Regina. I retired over twenty years ago from the post of Head Teacher in a secondary school in Glasgow. I now tend the garden grudgingly and play golf frequently, although I struggle nowadays to maintain a respectable handicap. I relax by listening to classical music or play some blues on the piano. On days when the weather is fair I go for a run on my Yamaha Fazer.

Early in my retirement my wife bullied me into getting a computer. When I had reached a moderate degree of competence I set about writing the two novels that have now been published on Kindle. Should you choose to read them I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you Mr James Differ for sharing your incredible life story with the world. You describe the dark places and places of sunshine so well. It is often hard to believe that one person has gone through so much. It is a story of despair and joy - happiness and tragedy. Through God's love and the love of Alcohilcs Anonmymous you triumphed over evil.The stregth of your love for your family and their love for you is an inspiration. Laughed and cried my way through the book. I feel stronger in faith for having ready Two Bites of the Cherry.

This book is a must read for anyone suffering any type of addiction because it is full of hope and faith. Brutally honest. So much negativity in one life and yet it ends up full of positive messages. So much loss and sadness in one family but ends up with a family full of Pride love and happiness. A very powerful read and living locally know of all the places he mentions. Just brilliant and very brave of the author to open himself up so honestly. Well done James in winning your fight with the demon drink and for the on going help to gives to others.
A fantastic read.

I loved "Two Bites At The Cherry." In fact, I would say, that it's the best autobiography that I have ever read because it describes, so very accurately, how life could be in a small Mining community in the West of Scotland. The author paints a vivid picture of his childhood, his travels in exotic places and, with some humour, his time as a conscript in the British Army. His description of the attitude that he had to adopt, to survive, in his time in different prisons was enlightening, to one who has never experienced it. His decent into addiction, the family tragedies that followed and his recovery are remarkable and I would and do, thoroughly recommend this book to everyone. I could not put it down.

Great stuff James. I really enjoyed your book and as a fellow " Freelie" I understand what you mean about not being able to take the street out of the boy. I am a descendant of the Stewart's and Hopkin's and my folk had lived there for at least six generations. It is nice to see your picture as we last met in Cumbernauld in the late 1960s (Golden Eagle) all the best to you.

This is an an excellent gritty tale about life in the raw. The writer has not pulled any punches and tells the story of his life, the good bits and the bad bits. Compelling reading. When I picked it up I couldn't put it down.

I have read more books than I care to remember, and this has to be in the top 5. Written with brutal honesty, Mr Differ grabs you by the hand and drags you through the highs and lows of his colourful life. A "must read" if biographies are your thing.
