Walking on Ripples takes an eclectic, sometimes dark, sideways look at the world down the length of a fishing rod, with a considerable amount of humour thrown in. A fusion of fact and fiction, the eleven chapters features tales of angling in Cork, Donegal, Fermanagh, Dublin, Wicklow, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford and elsewhere. All of the chapters are linked thematically, dealing with the art of fishing, but overall the book is about a lot more than angling. The factual chapters act as a unifying force that binds the whole into a unit greater than the sum of the parts. The text also provides an insightful view into the creative processes that go on in the mind of a writer. A unique approach that defies labelling, Walking on Ripples is part fiction, part memoir, part travelogue - this is not a dry fishing manual full of technical jargon but a lyrical tribute to the angling life.

David Murphy's previous books include Broken Heroes (short stories, 1995); Alienations (short stories, 1998); Arkon Chronicles (novella, 2003); Lost Notes (short stories, 2004); Longevity City (novel, 2005); and Bird of Prey (novella, 2011). He was born in Cork but has lived north of Dublin, and in Waterford, for many years. This is his first work featuring nonfiction.
