Who am I?

I’m a writer, authoring epic Urban, Historical and High Fantasy from my home in the west of Ireland, just on the edge of windswept Connemara.

Growing up, my favourite stories were always tales of the supernatural. From the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, to the Folk tales from Ireland and Europe I was raised on, to the stories of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien to more modern stories of Princes and Princesses, elves and fairies and magic spells, I was transfixed. So much so that I would think about the stories long after they were read, carrying on in my own imagination with things that could have happened after the ‘Happily Ever After’. It was a natural progression to becoming a writer from there.

So now, here I am, and here’s my work. Beginning with The Books of Rue, and continuing on as we go, with my own stories of the supernatural, the preternatural, the things that dwell in the shadows, in those in-between spaces we catch out of the corner of our eye.

I hope you enjoy reading them just as much as I’ve enjoyed
