About the Book

The Life an times of a Gotcha is a fact based book about events in the Dublin based security industry..At times a madcap laugh out loud book of events, stranger than fiction at times. It was during the 80's and 90's, the early days of security work in Ireland and perhaps things were slightly more lax regulation wise than today. But they were certainly wild enough even for then. A real page turner, a great read and as I already said: laugh out loud funny in places.As the author said himself, a former security guard: " Sometimes you just have to be there." I'll bet you do.
About the Author: James Linnane was born on a farm in Galway, in 1962, the youngest of a family of ten. His father was a foreman in construction working for Galway County Council, as well as being a farmer, although James's mother did much of the running of the farm for many years, as well as raising the children, ("a woman of steel"). Before James was sixteen, his family had moved home twice. Initially to a farm in Meath and when he was fifteen, to Dublin. His career has covered the bar trade, construction, security work and shop work. He was a bar manager and a builder at different times in his life. He also worked in America for a short time. His first book, Never Take an Irishman Seriously Unless He's Armed, was published in New York in 1988, sadly no longer in print. He has been writing since his late teens. His hobbies have included soccer and Kenpo karate (he fought in a number of competitions). He attended a number of schools, in different counties and completed his secondary education in CBS Westland Row in Dublin. He also attended the College of marketing and design in later years. He met and married his wife, Karen, in Dublin in the 90's. They have lived in a number of different counties over the years. He is currently a member of both The Boyne Writers Group and The Meath Writers Group, both based in Trim, County Meath and proud to be so. He now resides in Ballivor, County Meath with his wife, Karen and their two daughters, Amber and Stephanie.
