Profile
- Hometown:
- Dublin, Ireland
- About Me:
- I'm a freelance writer, editor and author. When I'm writing to pay the bills it's movie and theatre reviews with a variety of Dublin-based magazines and newspapers. Writing for fun means crime fiction: I've had a couple of books published, most recently in April 2007 - it's called The Big O. The first one, published in 2003, is called Eightball Boogie. I've recently started a dedicated Irish crime fiction blog called Crime Always Pays.
- Website:
- http://crimealwayspays.blogspot.com/
- Books And Authors I Like:
- In no particular order ... Chandler, Bruen, Thompson, Macdonald, Gifford, Leonard, Banville (V.), McKinty, Willeford, Goodis, Pelecanos, Hiaasen, Burnett, Thornburg, Ellroy, Bateman, Kerrigan, McGilloway ... actually, this could go on all night. I better quit while I'm ahead.
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- TV - The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Arrested Development
Movies - again, it's a long, long list ... classic noir, the Coen Brothers, Jeremiah Johnson, anything with Bogie, Lee Marvin, Robert Mitchum or Robert Ryan on board, the Marx Brothers, Get Shorty, Willy Wonka (the original), The Talented Mr Ripley ... again, I'm quitting now before I run away with myself.

Crime Always Pays is a great site, and I'd love to do a Q&A for it!
Cheers,

A weekend in Bristol and this is what's become of you. Have a ball at Cohen on Sunday.
Thanks for the props on Chasing the Dragon. It's the first chapter of my first book. I'm shipping it around to various agents right now. I have a few good ones interested, so if you would be so kind as to cross all extremities right along with me, I'd be much obliged.
I'll drop you a line, for sures. Keep the home fires blazing like a sugar cube atop my glass of absinthe. Wait, that count as a drug? If so, first sip's yours.
Slainte.
