I’ve been fascinated by stories as long as I can remember. I grew up in a small town in Ireland in the 70’s. No internet, no PlayStation or xBox, no computers and no TV until the evenings, Videos hadn’t arrived yet either. The nearest cinema was 25 miles away in another town. So apart from playing made up games like cops and robbers with friends outdoors in the summer my two great escapes were lego and reading. Especially reading – that was the key to my imagination, adventures that would play like a movie in my mind.

Reading has been an amazing constant in my life. I’d be lost without it, the ability to get lost in a story and become part of it. That’s what inspired me to write; that glorious comfort of being immersed in a different world. As a child and teenager tales of adventure were fodder for my imagination and so it continues today.

So in amongst the demands of adult life I finally managed put pen to paper or in modern parlance, fingers to keyboard and started to write. I hope my scribblings give you some enjoyment and thank you in advance for taking the time to open one of my stories. I hope you enjoy them 🙂
