The Truth Mongers

What the hell are truth mongers you'll be asking. It's the name coined by a small group of young people who have taken it upon themselves to understand the little-explored dynamic between truth and untruth in daily life. Not from a moralistic point of view, deciding what's right and what's wrong, but rather to understand the way untruth enters people's life and subsequently influences it. They do so by getting people to tell stories of moments that were important to them. Doing so leads the truth mongers to unexpected, if not a good many risky adventures.

Alan McCluskey lives amid the vineyards in a small Swiss village between three lakes and a range of mountains. Nearby, several thousands of years earlier, lakeside villages housed a thriving Celtic community. The ever-present heart-beat of that world continues to fuel his long-standing fascination for magic and fantasy.
All Alan McCluskey's books are about the self-empowerment of the young, girls in particular, in a world that tends to curtail their opportunities, belittle their abilities and discourage them from doing great things. His books also explore the difficulties of those whose gender and sexuality lie beyond the dominant binary divide between boy and girl. His goal in writing fiction is to imagine inspiring ways forward, despite the difficulties thrown in the way of these young people.
