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. |
