I was born in Dublin Ireland in the mid 1960’s and spent my teenage years devouring all the books I could lay my hands on from Steven King, Graham Masterton and James Herbert to Edgar Rice Burroughs and Alastair McClean. Added to this diet were a lot of horror movies: a few of my favourite ones being The Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, Day of the Dead and Alien.

I loved writing short stories in my teens but then college, career, marriage and young children took all my attention for quite a number of years. Finally, I found a little “me” time and started writing in earnest about 7 years ago.

My first published works were short stories in anthologies from genre US publishers Black Death Books and Permuted Press. Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder is my first published novel (Black Death Books). It has been tremendously received by reviewers, has reached the top 100 best-selling horror books at Barnes&Noble and Amazon, was nominated as one of 58 horror novels in the Preditors and Editors 2006 Readers Poll, runner-up in the Spinetinglers Book of the Year (2007) and, the Film/TV rights are under option and a screen adaptation is in development - see IMDb.

Forthcoming titles include a story in The Blackest Death Vol.III (early 2008, Black Death Books) and more books in the Vampire Apocalypse series.

I don’t write for a living - because I can’t afford to! In “real” life I work as a specialist designing business to business communications systems for a global telecoms. I’m a member of the Horror Writers Association and the British Fantasy Society
