I now live in Rush, Co. Dublin. I’m married and have a family.
I have a full-time job.
My first taste of writing was in 1992, when I submitted a short horror story to a speculative fiction magazine, FTL. Titled ‘The Chase’, it was accepted and published.
I had spent nearly a decade playing bass in bands around Dublin and kept tour diaries. From this I made my first attempt at a novel titled ‘Vocals preferred / own transport essential.’ I finished it in 2003 & sent it out. I received many positive suggestions, but nothing else.
I have four novels from the Eva series:
Get Lenin
Zinnman
A Finger of Night
Hollow Point
available on Amazon & Kobo platforms
I have had short stories published in three anthologies:
•‘A communion of blood’ a vampire short published in ‘Broken Mirrors Fractured minds’ – Vamptasy Press.
•‘Vodou’ in Red Rattle Book’s ‘Zombie Bites’.
•& ‘The Properties of Mercury’ in ‘Cogs in Time’ a Steampunk Anthology, by Crushing Hearts Black Butterfly Publishing.

I have had two articles published in The Oslo times last year:
Nostalgia for Cogs, Gears and Terabytes - a celebration of the fantastic in Nantes.
Paper Mache castles and duck-feeding-ceasefires – a brief history of Dublin in an afternoon.
I also regularly review CDs for Irish Independent Review Ireland.view less
