His first full-time job after leaving college was as a showroom salesman for a car-parts company. At coffee break on the first morning he walked to the nearest cafeteria, and kept on walking - he never went back! At the turn of the seventies he joined the Civil Service based at Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Government, and watched behind the scenes as some of the country's most momentous events unfolded. These were the early dark days of the 'troubles' - events that reverberated around the world, and somehow served to push him towards his real passion of writing. He became a journalist, later a Newspaper Editor, and then a partner in an agency supplying copy to national newspapers and broadcasters. He switched careers to help start a Local Enterprise Agency, providing advice and support to budding entrepreneurs in his native town, and became its full-time CEO. He retired to concentrate on his long-time ambition to be a full-time writer. His previous novels have all been published to critical acclaim.These include:QUINN - No place to hideQUINN: Thirst for JusticeEXPOSURE TO TRUTHSPENT FORCEABSENCE OF MERCYABSENCE OF RULESSOMEONE HAS TO PAYDEATH BY LICENCEWhen he's not writing Joe is always available to help new authors.
