While a student, I worked as a kitchen porter in a club near the Bank of England. Later I worked in IT marketing for 25 years, much of that time in London.The Istanbul Puzzle was my first published novel (HarperCollins Jan, 2012,) The Jerusalem Puzzle was my second, The Manhattan Puzzle my third with HarperCollins. I then self-published The Nuremberg Puzzle and The Cairo Puzzle to complete the series.In 2007 I won the Outstanding Novel Submitted award at the Southern California writer’s conference. The Istanbul Puzzle was also shortlisted for Irish Crime Novel of 2012.I have also self-published three novels in a historical novel series, A Dangerous Emperor.I founded the International Dublin Writers Festival in 2015.
