Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
To Date I have written two novels in the horror/supernatural genre. The first titled ” Dark Web” was published in September 2014 and my latest titled ” A Loss of Youth” was published May 2015. I am currently work on my third novel. I live in the beautiful surroundings of Killaloe, Co Clare. I have been married to Liz for the past thirty one years. We have two sons Edward and Craig. Although I have written fiction for a while. My novel Dark Web is the first of his writings I have chosen to publish.
I am an avid music fan among my favorites are the late great Rory Gallagher Irish blues guitarist, Phil Lynott, Garry Moore and the very much alive and kicking Aslan.
I also enjoy fly fishing, reading, writing and drinking beer with his friends.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
A Loss of youth is my latest effort in the horror/supernatural genre. My inspiration probably comes from my reading habits as a teenager. One of my earliest in influences was the writings of Denis Wheatley. A life long interest in the supernatural is where I take most of my influence from.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to write in short sharp bursts, getting distracted in between.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Denis Wheatley, Stephen King, John Connolly, Edward Lee, Edgar Alan Poe. I also am a great fan of the WW2 novels of Sven Hassel. The way he made his characters larger than life and interesting always enthralled me.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
At the moment it is a bit trial and error as I am very much a newcomer to the industry. However sites such as Awesomegang is a god send to new authors working sometime on a nonexcisting marketing budget.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Better by far to write than not to write……….
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself………
What are you reading now?
” Depraved” by Bryan Smith……
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am currently working on my third novel. It is again in the horror genre. I would like to think it will reflect certain short comings in religious life. Or maybe the challenges experienced by certain people as they try to minister to their flocks.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
“Every dead thing” by John Connolly.
” Needful things” by Stephen King.
” Duma key” by Stephen King.
” Wheels of terror” by Sven Hassel.
