An Ordinary Life by Edmund Gubbins

From his early childhood on the edge of a hard Council Estate to eminent Professor with a world wide reputation and great wealth, Tom Houseman has stayed loyal to his friend Derek. He finds opportunities through his friends and his brother to enhance both his wealth and standing in society. Like many people, all through his life he denies and ignores both the moral and legal implications of taking advantage of these opportunities. He sees his actions as both moral and legal acting out of the belief that he always avoids illegal activities. Many people feel this way and assume they are good people.
Eventually they have to face up to the consequences of their actions. Will Tom Houseman have eventually to face up to these implications or will he sail serenely through, what he calls, this ordinary life?

Running After Maria 

by Eddie Gubbins.



A Tragic Romance Novel

James Ashleigh lives, to him, the perfect life. Plenty of money, sex with plenty of women and plentiful supply of alcoholic drink. As a ships officer, he sails the worlds oceans on oil tankers berthing in many exotic places. Carefree, he is not tied to one place or one woman. 
Wanting a change from oil tankers, he joins a small company whose ships sail keeping regular schedules from the British east coast to ports along the Baltic Sea coast. On one voyage when in Helsinki, he meets Maria and his life changes. He finds he is not carefree but tied to one place and one woman. The novel Running After Maria charts the progress of these changes to James's life, both good and bad. Through the twisting paths of  James' life, we follow his joy and his despair. Is there a chance that he will be truly happy? Can anybody be truly happy?
