Brief Bio:

I live in Dublin, Ireland. A part-time course in journalism led to ten years working in publishing; from there I decided I’d love to write. I had a short story published in 1992.

I grew up loving the books by Alastair Maclean, Gerald Seymour, Fredrick Forsyth and Robert Harris and GET LENIN is my contribution to the genre.

It's PUNK REICH.

If you enjoyed GET LENIN, please take time out to read the excellent books I've kept on my shelf & watch list & back them.

Thanks to everyone here who have got me to this stage.

Any piece that I really like I will recommend on my Face Book page. The more people know about it, the more we get recognised.

Hi Mark, There is a bit of a layout issue with the page numbers splitting passages which interrupts the flow. Apart from that, I like the sparse style of writing and it has the potential with a bit of polishing to be a very good story indeed. I can smell the beer and cigar smoke as you write. ... view book

Hi Janney, clearly plotted and natural sounding dialogue makes this a very enjoyable read - not my preferred genre, but got taken in with the story.

Irreverent & witty which is why I'm backing it - only observation - you open with God sitting down to coffee with you. You're pretty much painted into a corner from then on. Rob view book

J.L Dogge is a wonderful creation and the first chapter is a great read. Look forward to reading it when it's complete. Backed & rated Rob view book

Adam, a potential cult classic, the fonts mix a bit after chapter 9 which is a layout suggestion, but Fred could be as great a creation as Arthur Dent. Original and funny - gets all the stars. glad you spammed me Rob view book
