I am lucky enough to live near the coast in beautiful Southern Ireland. Until 2006 I worked as a Laboratory Technician , wrote a column in a local paper, composed poetry and short stories and day-dreamed about becoming a published novelist.Since the publication of my first novel , Parting Company ,I have devoted my time to writing. I now have six published print novels including ,As Easy As That, Ebb And Flow ,Inside Out and Under The Rainbow. My sixth novel , Time And Tide , was published in July 2011. All six print novels are now available to download as eBooks in the Kindle Store on Amazon.com. My seventh novel, Fire And Ice ,the story of troubled teenager Jack Cantor , is available as an eBook . I have recently gathered together a collection of short stories which I have written over a number of years .Full Circle And Other Stories is available to download from Amazon. And now my eighth novel , Thicker Than Water, published by Tirgearr Publishing , will soon be available for download .
