Welcome to my author website!

Somewhere in these website pages, I hope you find a scene or a line or a book that builds a small bridge between you and me, between your lived experiences and mine. Why do I want this? Because that’s what writing and storytelling are for.

Start by getting some tips for your writing journey in my free writers resources.

Also …

  • Read this blog post, “Smitten by Stories: Where Writing Begins” about where and how I fell in love with storytelling (spoiler alert: It all happened in my native County Mayo, Ireland).

  • Check out my list of virtual and in-person creative and wellness-writing workshops

  • Get in touch by dropping me a line via my contact page.
