About Me

I graduated from a Masters in Writing in NUI Galway with first class honours in 2003. Since then, I have had short stories published nationwide in a variety of good quality magazines and publications, such as The Stinging Fly, Southword, The Sunday Tribune and Mayo News. I have been twice shortlisted for the Hennessy New Irish Writing Award and have won highly commended awards for short stories and poetry elsewhere. Currently I have stories forthcoming in Nature Magazine's Science Fiction section and in a special sci-fi/fantasy anthology Music For Another World, to be released in August 2010. I continue to write and submit to magazines in Ireland, the UK and the US. Links to a small sample of my writings are available on the Links page.

I'm also a professional programmer/developer
