Derry author releases heartfelt book to celebrate father’s 90th birthday

A Derry author has marked his father’s 90th birthday in a deeply personal and meaningful way, by writing and publishing a book in his honour.

Brian F. Campbell, an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author, has released 'The 18p Principle: Lessons from My Father', a powerful and emotional reflection on a life shaped by faith, resilience, and quiet strength.

The book tells the story of a father who never sought recognition, yet left a lasting impact on his family and community through his actions, values, and unwavering presence. Drawing on real-life moments, Campbell shares the lessons he learned growing up, lessons that many readers will recognise in their own families.

“My father never needed to raise his voice to be heard,” said Campbell. “Everything he taught us came through how he lived his life? with patience, humility, and love.”

A respected figure within the local community, Campbell’s father has long-standing ties to both his church and Masonic lodge, reflecting a lifetime of service, faith, and commitment to others.
