My heros are Elvis, later Monet, Grisham, Koontz, and Brown. I have written all my life, most of my descriptive stories, essays were read to the class in school. I have lived all over. 8 years in Ireland, 6 in Spain and a short time in Portugal. I have friends in countries such as Bali, Thailand etc and have been influenced by each and everyone of them. I was born in western Canada and have zero tolerance for arrogance and cruelty especially to children as my writing will testify to. I sing a mean country song with my 6 string and have sold more than a few of my watercolours. I always have a short story in the drawer waiting to be finished and all in all its a good life. I fell in love with Ireland and The Room is set in a crumbling old manor house, deep in the southern county of Kerry. Any man or woman with Irish roots will fall in love with the country following the adventures of Dean and his accomplices
