About the Author
Basically, I work as a Personal Assistant and have done for over 20 years in various cities, from Cork, Dublin, Rome and London. My dream would be to work and live in New York.I currently live in London and have done for 11 years now.
For many years I knew I wanted to do something more than be a PA and always dabbled in a little writing, nobody was really aware of this, bar my friends who received my long emails! :-) Leaflets from the Writers Bureau kept falling through my door in London a few years back. One would fall through the letterbox, I'd think about it and forget about it again, but when they started coming every two weeks or so, I took it as a sign and completed one of their courses. It was from this I started writing my first novel "Waiting for a Star to Fall" which I have self published.
I've got many more ideas for my next novel or novels and one day I too want to tackle a screen play - which may be a bit ambitious, but now I've come this far, I'm not going to stop following the dream.
