Sean Harding

Love and All That is the first collection of short stories by Irish author Sean Harding. Sean publishes in the Literary Fiction subcategory of Literature and Fiction and his works are found in the British and Irish Fiction and Short Story areas. Although deceptively called Love and All That, this book is far from your typical book on love. Instead it is a dark, thought provoking, psychological book with a theme of love running through it. It intertwines tales of betrayal, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse, dysfunctional love, adultery among others, to show through powerful fiction, what happens when lives spiral out of balance and out of control. Each story is very different and you cannot help but empathize with the characters in the stories.

The author, Sean Harding lives in Co. Meath, with his wife Audrey and they have four children, a niece and one grandchild. He worked in the steel industry for thirty-four years and enjoys car restoration and aviation. Sean first took up writing back in 2011 and his key influences are Sam Millar and Cormac McCarthy, authors, he say, who can truly make you feel what the character feels.
