Phil Tomkins
Phil Tomkins, born in Dublin, Ireland, educated at CBS Westland Row, Dublin, awarded a BA Hons. Degree in Creative Writing by the University of Bolton, Lancashire, England. An ex-elite forces soldier' whose writing reflects his continuing interest in military history.
During research for his latest book 'Twice a Hero' he found that heroes like Brigadier General George Adamson, Commandant Jim Tormey and his brother Volunteer Joseph Tormey, who fought and died to liberate their homeland, lie buried in an untended cemetery right in the heart of the community from which they came.
His sincerest wish that his book 'Twice a Hero' may help awaken the memories of all the Irish fallen heroes, that they may assume their deserved place in the folklore and history for as long as the flag they raised flies over Ireland.
Phil continues his research for his next book 'Once a Soldier' and currently resides in the North of England in semi-retirement with his wife Maree.
