Welcome to Al Gale's website

In 2013, in memory of my son, Harry, and in order to raise funds for the hospice which cared for him, I decided I would swim the English Channel. My efforts were captured in a BBC4 documentary (appropriately titled, Swim the Channel), and my blog was updated as I progressed through 14 months of training. The full novel about Harry, and the subsequent swim, is available on Amazon here. For more details on my two other novels, Tooth and Nail and A Loss of Identity, see my books page. Any constructive comments can be sent to me here. I hope you enjoy the site. Happy reading. Al Gale |
