‘How’s that boyfriend of yours? I haven’t seen him lately.’
‘He’s not my boyfriend anymore.’
‘Well, that’s good news. He was a right Muppet. Talk about needy! He stuck closer to you than a tinker’s vest. Remember the last time we went out – he wouldn’t even let you go to the toilet on your own. Naw, you’re well shot of him. How did you manage to get rid of him, anyway?’
‘I didn’t. We got married …’

Born in Tralee, Co Kerry, I now lives in Wales.
As a child I spent his summer holidays in Listowel, Co Kerry where my uncle Moss Scanlon had a Harness Maker’s shop which was a magnet for all sorts of colourful characters. It was there that my love of words was kindled by the stories of John B. Keane and Bryan MacMahon, who often wandered in for a chat and bit of jovial banter.
I started writing short stories based on those characters and had twenty published in various anthologies and eMags over the years. I’ve now self-published them in a collection called Dreamin’ Dreams which is available through Smashwords.com and Amazon.com, and also as stand-alone items through the same medium.
My first novel, a thriller set in Wales during WW2 called
Dark September is published by Tirgearr Publishing.
Gallows Field is my second thriller and set in Ireland during WW2, and is self-published with Amazon and Smashwords.com
