Background
Information
|
|
Born to Irish parents living in England, early years on my grandmother's farm in the West of Ireland watching Nature take its course; college in Dublin, and after five years teaching English and Spanish at a boarding school wanderlust kicked in; have travelled everywhere but South America but hope one day to visit Peru and Brazil to see Machu Picchu and take a boat on the Amazon.
A decade in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq) left indelible images and memories, many of them captured in We're All Men Here. Finally settled in Singapore with my Malay family and writing every day.
