about me
I am a published, literary-fiction writer from Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland, represented by a literary agent. In 2009 I attended the Faber & Faber Writing Academy. I work closely with the NI Arts Council who back my work through funding, advice and guidance and am also a member of the Newman Writers Group.
Some of my short stories have been published alongside prestigious authors such as Hilary Mantel, Louis De Bernieres, Lionel Shriver and Alexander McCall Smith by Ether Books. You can download four of my short stories onto your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using the Ether Books App, which is available from the Apple Store or www.etherbooks.co.uk
My short story 'A Quarter Yellow Sun' was recently nominated for 'The Pushcart Prize' which has previously recognised writers such as Raymond Carver, Andre Dubus and John Irving.
Titles available:
Changes
A Quarter Yellow Sun
Christmas
Mr. Chen and the Nightingale
I am currently writing short stories for a collection and working on my second novel.
Part of my completed (unpublished), debut novel A MAN IN GREY SHOES is available to read here on authonomy.
