about me

I won the 'International Women in Publishing Award 1996' but couldn't make it to the award ceremony as I decided to give birth that day instead.

I like doing 'things' in a big way - I was a founder of the Big Issues in Ireland and a co-creator of The Ultimate Job in the World.

I wrote to Jim'll Fix It once and asked could I be a mother to a chimp and Orangutan. He didn't write back. I now have two children though, which fulfills the dream somewhat.

I am a freelance writer and I have self published 3 books. The latest is my Grandfather's War Diary (which is a bit of a cheat as he wrote a long time ago not me!). It's available through Lulu and Smashwords.

Hero Scope

Rosemarie Meleady

Leanne Sweeney is tired of making bad life choices. There is only one solution, to live her life by her horoscope 100 percent.


2nd April - NEW CHAPTERS ADDED! ENJOY!

After a long series of bad choices; an ass of a boyfriend, a rollercoaster accident and a bad hairdo – Leanne Sweeney decides that she is not responsible enough to be in charge of her own life. There is only one solution - to hand her life over to the gods and live her life by her horoscope, 100 per cent.

‘An old acquaintance will come in to your life’ – cue Karl – the handsome friend from school arrives back into town. He’s perfect in every way... except he’s gay.

‘Watch out for a Gemini female, avoid if possible as she will create chaos in your life.’ – Cancel going to best friend Gemini Julie’s going away party.

‘Don’t let your Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome get away. Lucky colour Purple.’ - cue Norman, the black god from the train platform and he’s wearing purple socks!

Life starts to fall into place, what more direction does a woman on a mission need?

Answer: Lots.

No he didn't rob it, BUT.... you'll have to wait until I am finished the rewrite! And did you know murders commited by Cancerians are usually crimes of passion? (That's a piece of info that is defiantely going in thanks to Victoria Pendar below!) view book

Love the title of your book and the idea. I read the first three chapters and it is a very easy read. I think you fall into a similar trap that I often do which is telling not showing and sometimes you explain things that don't need to be said. For instance Para 3 on chapter 1 is not necessary - yo... view book
