I am originally from Dublin, Ireland - the land of poets! I moved to England in 1977 to join the Army which was controversial at the time, and I lost many friends. Despite a life of many ups and downs I have survived and with the encouragement of my sister and friends, I put pen to paper and have hardly stopped since. At the grand age of sixty-three I am having my first work published. I love reading and writing especially if it takes me away from the everyday. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
