I've been writing with a view to publication since 2007. Occasionally I ponder my various tribulations in my writing blog. If you have time to murder, you can find that here.
I'm currently seeking representation for my first and only novel, 'Stiletto in Old Street'. It's a humorous mystery set in a London City programming office. Information and sample pages are available on request.
My short story 'Only Four Girls' was short-listed for the Francis MacManus award in April 2009. All of the short-listed stories were broadcast on Irish national radio station RTE1.
'Only Four Girls' was broadcast on RTE's 'The Book on One' on January 7th, 2010. A brief description can be found here, along with a link.

I've worked as a software developer since 1995, primarily contracting in C++. My last contract role involved streaming real-time financial instruments in Reuters, London.
I'm now based in tranquil South Kerry, where I develop websites and offer an I.T. consulting service.
I'm available for C++ / .NET development roles in the South Kerry area, or roles that involve working from home. I can also help you with your I.T. issues - if you live in South Kerry. Don't worry, you won't appear in my next novel. Probably.
