I am a reasonably late X-er. Born, bred and have lived most of my life in Ireland. I am reliably informed by my parents that once I learnt to talk I never stopped until I was able to read. This was apparently a godsend as it saved my parents' sanity! I was happy to lose myself for days on end, vicariously enjoying the world and many adventures through the pages of the many books that my parents bought, nearly bankrupting themselves. Whilst I am a quiet and somewhat introverted person in reality, when I write I fear I turn into something of a drama queen. I love to explore the hidden inner recesses of my mind as I write and there is a heck of a lot of what makes up who I am that ends up on the page. This is probably the same for a lot of authors. People have asked if there is a strong autobiographical content in my writings and the simple answer is yes. It's not all autobiographical and I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows which parts are which. UPDATE JULY 2019: a new project looms
