I was born in Leicester to Irish parents and spent much of the first 30 years of my life living on Council estates in Leicester and London, rubbing shoulders with an assortment of duckers, divers, scroungers and wide boys. Then I accidentally became an accountant, an error I’ve been trying to rectify ever since.

 

These days I try and spend more time writing short stories and thrillers. I wrote my first novel whilst undertaking the MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa. My second, Forgetting Charlie, is more or less complete. An excerpt featured recently on BBC Radio Bristol’s Upload with Adam Crowther, as did a short story of mine – ‘Taking Care of Tolly’. If you’re interested in listening to them, they're here:
