Dreamin’ Dreams is more than a collection of stories; it is a celebration of Irish life, adventure, and the unforgettable characters who make growing up in Ireland a journey worth remembering.
As deafness, illness, and demonic forces close in around him, Ludwig van Beethoven must summon his faith and genius to complete the Missa Solemnis—a sacred masterpiece he believes could bring divine light into a darkening world.

I was born in 1960 in London, England, studied English Literature at Cambridge , and left England in 1981 to move to the United States. With an MBA from the University of Chicago, I spent the next fifteen years raising my family and pursuing a career in business, founding an online financial services company called NextCard.
Requiem of the Human Soul is my first novel. I wanted to write about where I saw our world going, and what it means for our human soul. Not the Judaeo-Christian immortal soul, but the kind we mean when we say: "___'s got soul, man." How genetic engineering may put the final nail in the coffin that Western civilization's been building around our soul for the past 500 years.
I tried to make the story believable - not some angst-ridden dystopia, but a realistic view of our future may hold for our species.
