about me

I have been writing "stories" ever since I can remember, some of them good, most of them not.

Mostly I am looking forward to critique of my work (it is very hard to get an unbiased opinion from family and friends) and I would like to find a few good undiscovered novels out there too.

favourite books

At the moment I am obsessed with everything J. M. Coetzee has written.

I also love:

J. G. Farrell
Evelyn Waugh
Flann O'Brien
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Maria Edgeworth
Ian McEwan

There is always one person you turn to when everything's falling apart; but can you really trust them? Are they who they appear to be?


Samuel O’Sullivan is bringing his elderly father home to die. It should be a voyage of discovery for Samuel but when he is reunited with a childhood friend, Maher, Samuel will find out more than he ever wanted to know. Donaghmore, a quiet seaside town in the shadow of the Mourne Mountains, is thrown into turmoil when a local girl goes missing and suspicion is cast upon the outsiders. Samuel finds himself caught between loyalty and the law. When it seems like Samuel has become the main suspect, he and Maher devise a plan to disappear, but it was never going to be straight forward and now another death may just be on the cards.

A BHCG Review. You have actually been on my shelf forever and I don’t think I’ve ever commented on you book so I thought I’d do you a wee one for the BHCG. I think your short pitch is excellent, snappy, and your long pitch very in depth and would definitely invite in readers. The narrative flows ... view book

The first part of the novel confused me a little. It was like stage directions. But it was intriguing. When I got into the story I really enjoyed it. I liked the point of view you used, very immediate, very personal; perfect for your narrative. The dialogue was realistic and it was beautifully, o... view book

A BHCG Review Your short pitch grabbed me straight away. Your long pitch could do with being a bit more fluid but certainly sparks up an interest. I loved your first line. And your opening was so filled with emotion it was positively moving. It literally brought tears to my eyes. I thought it ... view book

A BHCG Review Your pitch absolutely baffled me. I couldn’t tell what you were trying to say or what the story would be about. Then I started to read and I was still as confused as before, it hurt my head, it was like a jumble of clips – but this was brilliant. To show this savage beating and to ill... view book

Long overdue... Your short pitch sells this story in a way that most people’s struggle to do. I didn’t even have to read the long pitch (although I did) to know that I was going to read and not stop reading this book. The dialogue can be a bit stilted in parts but the narrative more than makes up ... view book
