about me

I am an Irish poet & writer and I grew up in “The Village area” of South Belfast, Northern Ireland. Inspired by the writings of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Seamus Heaney and Robert Frost I started writing poems and short stories some years ago. For me poetry has always been a medium to take memories and emotions from my mind convert them into words on paper that in turn enable the reader to see things as I see them and realise my understanding of the world converted back into their emotions.
For Irish Eyes is my first published book and I am currently working on more anthologies of poems, short stories and two novels.
I would like to share one of my novels here and expect your constructive criticism.

The Death Pool

Colin T Mercer

"... smile of discernment adorned his face as he stirred the cup with a silverspoon. He couldn’t believe he had fallen into her trap again....."


Justin Mullen returns home to Ireland after 10 years overseas in the hope of finding his childhood friend William. It isn’t long before he realises things aren’t what they seem within the walls of Royal Lodge farm.
His efforts to unravel the past would uncover the dark world of a secret order that until now had lain hidden just below the surface.
The rekindled love for a woman leaves him caught in a deadly game of deceit and murder. His resolve to survive was about to be pushed to the limits as he comes to realise the awful secrets kept hidden in the history of this rural Ulster village. Abduction, torture and the ruthless pursuit of evil govern the land where the new world exist
The innocence of childhood memories are shattered by the sting of betrayal and the discovery of a hidden door which opens up a final twist of fate in a world where evil lives hand in hand with God. . Taken from actual events and uncovered evidence of the coming world order. These are the people of the death pool
