Broken hearts wandering in a trackless void

By Jim Byrne

Front cover, Wounded Hearts My work involves a lot of time spent with unhappy couples, helping them to find a way out of their emotional misery. This is territory which I have know since early childhood, having grown up with unhappily married parents. My own first marriage was a mess.

But I have persisted with the challenge of how to recover from inadequate emotional wiring, inherited from badly wired parents, and I have found my way into a wonderfully calm and loving world of joy and peace.

Recently I have had a very productive few days of writing short stories. I wrote one per day for three days – all about love and lovelessness – and the pleasures and pains of romantic love. I then added two pre-existing stories (from my memoir) and created a book of short stories, which I published yesterday; and which is available today in the UK; and it will be available in the US and Europe in the next two or three days.
