about me

I was born in Dublin, but spent most of my childhood in rural Ireland. I've since spent some time in Brighton, doing an MA in Creative Writing and working with writers' groups; and I now live in Manchester and try to write myself.

My stories have been published in Whoosh!, an anthology of LGBT writers released last year, and in the Manchester Review. I'm currently living in Manchester and finishing my first novel.

favourite books

Colm Tóibín's The Blackwater Lightship. John Banville's Kepler. John McGahern's That They May Face the Rising Sun. (So far all Irish, I see.) And I guess Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire. And To the Lighthouse. I guess that's probably enough?
