Welcome to my author website!
I'm an Irish author who now lives and writes north of Boston. In these web pages, I hope you find that one thought or line that resonates with you. Or, better yet, I hope you read something here that builds a bridge between you and me, between your life and mine.

Oh! And while you’re here, I just launched the virtual book tour schedule for my fifth and latest book, “Trespassers and Other Stories.” “Trespassers” is a collection of transatlantic short fiction set in greater Boston and Ireland. Get the tour schedule and topics.
“Trespassers” is now available from the publisher and wherever good books are sold. Read the story behind these stories at my blog.

Tips for Writers
Have the winter holidays or a busy 2024 taken you away from writing?
This January, make yourself a New Year’s resolution. Promise to write for 15 minutes, three times per week. Find the place, time and setting that work best for you. Start small. Build your habit. Give yourself some small rewards.
Most important: In 2025 and beyond, keep telling yourself that you deserve to write. Because you do. And because your New Year writing resolution starts and ends with that (deserving).
