The Toast of Europe

Cheers 
Welcome to the 'Toast of Europe' - a collection of holiday snaps from over the years that might just tempt you to take the sun somewhere in Europe this year. From Amsterdam to Portugal and a few places in between - and many of these places have truly inspired quite a few of my full length novels. Cheers, one and all.

Wherever you are going  for your holidays, stay safe and enjoy.
Me ? I'll be writing by a pool somewhere in the sunshine. It's most relaxing between meals, drinks, long walks,  and sight-seeing. Readers of  Paul Anthony will soon  realise the connection between some of these photographs and the books. Amsterdam and Dublin = Moonlight Shadows and Behead the Serpent,
The Azores = The Conchenta Conundrum
.... and so on....
