Kindle Edition – The Bleeding Hills by Wilfried F. Voss

On October 7, 2010, in Amazon Kindle, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

Using the yarns of the past and the present, violence and love, deceit and honesty, The Bleeding Hills is a tale woven like an Irish sweater. It is a well crafted page-turner that keeps the reader in suspense with unexpected twists throughout. This story is about more than just a the Irish Troubles and espionage; it is personalized through Finn exploring his triumphs and retrospective regrets. What is truly impressive is the author’s skill at exploring the larger issue of civil conflicts–how individuals become involved and how governments perpetuate–without being obvious or sacrificing any of the story at hand.

Blair Pressed Not To Call Bloody Sunday Inquiry

On June 15, 2010, in Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

In my novel The Bleeding Hills I raise the view that conservative powers, including those of the British security establishment, are, in a passive defensive way, not interested in upholding the Good Friday agreement, and, in all consequence, refuse to support lasting peace in Northern Ireland.

Bloody Sunday – Saville Report Will Be Published

On June 14, 2010, in Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

Today I found an article in The Guardian which represents the most critical account of British handling of the affair I have ever read in an English newspaper. It bluntly addresses the cover-up by British troops that continues to this day.

Sunday Bloody Sunday – Beyond U2

On December 23, 2009, in It's all about music..., Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

January 30th marks an anniversary in recent Irish history that most people living outside of Ireland and the Northern Provinces recognize only through a famous U2 song, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Unfortunately, the song is still misinterpreted as a “rebel song.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The band was aware of the controversial nature of Sunday Bloody Sunday, that its lyrics might be misinterpreted as sectarian, and possibly jeopardize their personal lives.

Chapter 4 – First Draft – is done…

On April 22, 2009, in The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

I had written in my very first entry on this blog that I had chosen an “easy” topic for my first novel, just to get a feel of the whole writing process. Well, the topic wasn’t easy at all and the quote “The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it” became reality. At this time I know much more about Bloody Sunday than ever before and continue to find more information.

The Bloody Sunday Inquiry

On March 22, 2009, in Political Comments, The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

The story line behind my novel “The Bleeding Hills” would not be complete without a look into the two inquiries of Bloody Sunday, the Widgery Report of 1972 and the official Bloody Sunday Inquiry initiated in 1998.

Bloody Sunday – January 30, 1972

On March 15, 2009, in The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

I have often criticized the lack of good literature explaining the events of Bloody Sunday untainted and comprehensible. I have been faced with the same dilemma, now that I am in the middle of writing chapter four of my novel “The Bleeding Hills”, where Bloody Sunday takes center stage.

The search for a cover photo…

On March 4, 2009, in The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

My research on the subject of Bloody Sunday began almost exactly to the day one year ago. At the time I had no definite vision of my work’s format, whether it would be a non-fiction account of historical facts or if I should package the events into a novel.

Here it comes – My first novel…

On March 4, 2009, in The Bleeding Hills, by Editor

Bloody Sunday, which many people associate only with the famous U2 song, refers to the events in Derry (the name Londonderry is not acceptable for a good Irish Republican) in Northern Ireland on January 30, 1972, when twenty-six civil rights protesters were shot by the 1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment. Thirteen people, six of whom were only seventeen years old, died at the scene. Five of those wounded, were shot in the back.
