London born and Irish raised, I have published six novels to date, five by the traditional route, including two by Penguin and one by means of self-publishing. I have facilitated numerous creative writing courses, at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. I hold a bachelors degree in English from Trinity College, University of Dublin and I am also a certified journal instructor, (not to mention a qualified lawyer - random)! I live in the heart of the Irish countryside with my three lovely children, my Dutch partner and a plethora of pets.
