Derek Turner

I write novels - three to date - and have contributed arts reviews, book reviews, political commentaries and travelogues to publications like the Times, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mail, the Literary Review, Country Life, Spectator Australia, New Welsh Review, Spiked, Chronicles, Modern Age, and Junge Freiheit. My first novel, Sea Changes (2012) deals with mass immigration and its consequences for both the immigrants and an often unwelcoming, unwilling England. My second, Displacement (2015), is set in Deptford, and follows the exploits of a bright working class boy as he rises literally and metaphorically above the inner city through the dangerous sport of parkour. A Modern Journey concerns Ambrose, a wild-eyed Holy Fool, as he careers through modern Dublin on a peculiar religious quest that brings him into often comical collision with everyone and everything
