Author Jude Collins: ‘You never forget the painful encounters, but equally you don’t forget the happy and exciting moments’

As the author of 10 books already, you’d think that Jude Collins wouldn’t need to clench his teeth as Born on the Twelfth of July Part 1: Young and Foolish is published. But all his other books — novels, short stories, interview collections on different themes such as Brexit or Martin McGuinness or the significance of the Somme — were about other people, real or imagined.
