A Co Armagh man has written his debut novel to highlight Northern Ireland's LGBTQ+ history against the backdrop of The Troubles.
Patrick Mone felt compelled to write 'A Petrol Bomb of Love' chronicling a gay relationship in 1980s Belfast to shed a light on how far the country has come in inclusivity.
