About Me
Brief Bio:
I was born in Tralee, on the west coast of Ireland and now lives in Wales with my wife Jennifer and daughters Shelly and Sarah.
As a child I spent my summer holidays in Listowel, Co Kerry, where my uncle Moss Scanlon had a harness maker’s shop, which, sadly, is long gone now.
The shop was a magnet for all sorts of colourful characters. It was there that my love of words was kindled by the stories of John B. Keane and Bryan MacMahon, who often wandered in for a chat and bit of jovial banter.
Over the years I’ve written loads of short stories, 24 of which have been published in a collection called Dreamin’ Dreams. Most of the ideas for the stories originated in Moss Scanlon’s shop, and some are based on actual real characters - though I’d never admit it, simply because I couldn’t afford the ensuing litigation …
Dark September is my first thriller.
