Hello,
​
Welcome to my website!
In many ways, I became a writer by accident. Several years ago, I worked as a book reviewer on a breakfast television programme. One rainy February morning, one of the presenters asked me if I did any writing. I told him I wrote articles for newspapers and magazines, but he wanted to know if I wrote fiction. That casual question proved to be the catalyst for the beginning of my journey into fiction writing. My book often got cast aside until one day I heard David Rice of the Killaloe Hedge-School of Writing. I signed up to do his workshop, and as they say - The rest is history ...
‘Secrets to Tell’ is my debut novel.
I hope you enjoy it.
