Liverpool born poet and writer Michael Walsh traces his Liverpool roots back to 1865. This was the year his Irish great-grandmother arrived in the Second City of Empire. His parents were born at the turn of what was to become the most tumultuous century in history. Michael's father, Patrick, fought in three major conflicts before reaching his fortieth birthday. His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.
The journalist and broadcaster since provided articles and columns for numerous magazines and international news media. In 2011 he was awarded Writer of the Year by the publishers of Euro Weekly News, Europe's highest-circulation newspaper of its kind. He has authored, edited and ghosted over 70 book titles.

The question of faith should not even be up for discussion. You don’t need to believe in God otherwise known as Creation. You do need to know that an omnipotent power far beyond human understanding yet known to our instincts is an unavoidable spiritual presence. Egoism alone believes […]
The possibility of creating a Russian naval base in Libya has become another cause for concern for the United States. The deal being discussed would allow Russia to gain a foothold on Europe’s southern doorstep, which would give it the ability to spy on the entire European Union. Today, […]
