I write novels for children, facilitate workshops in Journaling for Well Being and teach creative writing. My first novel, The House on Hawthorn Road, is a time travel story set in Dublin and my second novel, The Spirit of Loughmoe Abbey, is a ghost story set in the Irish countryside.

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by fairy tales. I was terribly disappointed when I found out fairy tales weren’t real. I had thought they were historical fact. The world became grey to me after that but when I began writing fiction I realised I could create magical worlds, just as others had created fairy tales.
