J.P. Sexton grew up in one of the most remote areas of Ireland - the Inishowen peninsula in North Donegal. His parents were dirt poor (they actually did have dirt) and he learned the art of survival from an early age. He has been writing since primary school and has had many articles published in magazines, newspapers, etc. His memoir; "The Big Yank," is his first published book. He is currently finishing a sequel/book 2. His plans include a co-authored collection of (mostly) Irish influenced poetry and a  series of International spy-type thrillers, set in various locatons throughout the world, in which he has lived, worked and visited.
