What's the story behind your latest book?
When I moved to Dublin from Iowa with my wife, I found myself unable to work due to visa complications. As a hobby, I took up a daily blog about my new life in Ireland. People planning trips to Dublin began contacting me through the blog asking for my insider tips about visiting the city. I compiled a long list of tips and tricks from an unemployed expat's perspective for potential Dublin visitors. As the list grew, I decided to make it a full-length book and publish it for free as a way to share my Dublin experience and expertise with as many people as possible.
