about me

I'm from London but based the book out of Dublin, an area I have a lot of knowledge of.
I have a passion for entertaining people.
I wanted to create a fictional account of something that feels like its actually happened.

Hippylitchick "An excellent character-driven story, with a lead character who draws you in, and makes you believe. Part navel-gazing philosopher, part Byronesque romantic, (small) part Norman Bates psycho.
If melancholy is truly as seductive as ecstacy, Jack's success with women is understandable.
I can't wait to read more! "



Jack Hughes "A strong, gritty thriller from the side of Dublin that's not seen in the tourist offices and theme pubs. This is a work with a clever plot and excellent voice and a protagonist who is about as far removed from the clean-cut hero as it's possible to get. "

J.Kinkade "Your writing makes me think of Van Gogh. Rough around the edges, but unarguably brilliant."

Joshua Jacobs "This is an excellent start. It's a unique story with a fascinating premise and well-developed main character. Highly rated and recommended."

Paddy Nemesis

Phil Cone

How would you deal with the chance to avenge your fathers death and get paid for it? Would it go to your head?


Paddy Nemesis is a story about one man and his job. The man is Jack Clancy, and his job is working for the government - as an assassin.
He exists on a heady mixture of pure adrenaline, black humour, chemical stimuli, sex, music and violence.
He's seen pain from the casual violence of his childhood, to the murder of his father. His self-destructiveness and inability to cope with this pain led to him leaving his home-town of Boyle and leaving Sarah, the love of his life.
But, when Jack’s boss tells him he needs to go home to find and kill drug traffickers, he must face his demons, and re-visit his old life.
Jack quickly finds out that the drugs are the tip of the iceberg, the corruption, a money laundering operation financed by the IRA.
He wants a way back to a life where love isn’t just a contrived concept, but is shocked by the news that he's the father of a son he's never met. However, his father’s killer has a vested interest in Jack’s family
The streets will flow with blood. At the end Jack has two choices; kill or be killed.
