I went to school in Dublin, drank way too much, studied English and history, then business, then IT at Oxford University. While a student, I worked as a kitchen porter near the Bank of England, cleaning the plates of the rich and well connected.
Now I have two kids to keep me busy and a day job in IT marketing to pay the bills. I was first published by a school newspaper when I was ten, for a short story about aliens getting lost. I still have it.
In 2007 I won the Outstanding Novel submitted award at the Southern California writerâ??s conference. I am a member of the Irish Writing Centre, two â??liveâ? writing groups in Dublin and online writing communities in England and the States. Iâ??ve been writing almost all of my life, and nearly every day for the past 11 years. My research has taken me all over the Mediterranean, from Morocco to the tiniest Turkish Islands. I like sleeping under the stars and listening to the stories of strangers.
My first novel, The Istanbul Puzzle, is coming out from Harper Collins in January 2012.
