Welcome to my author website!

I'm an Irish author who now lives and writes north of Boston. While you’re browsing through these web pages or my published essays or books, I hope you find that one thought or line that builds a bridge between you and me, between your life and mine.

Get some support for your writing journey in my free writers tips. Or check out my list of virtual and in-person creative and wellness-writing workshops. In my News pages, learn about upcoming writers workshops, retreats, author events and other tidbits.

Oh! And while you’re here, take a gander at my fifth and latest book, “Trespassers and Other Stories.” “Trespassers” is a collection of transatlantic short fiction set in greater Boston and Ireland.

The book is now available from the publisher and wherever good books are sold.

Watch the author interview (right) in which I chat about the book’s origin story, my writing inspirations (and challenges!)—plus my work in expressive writing, or how writing helps us to feel better.

Love audiobooks? Listen to me reading an excerpt from the book at the link below).
