Literary Mania Book of the Week297 weeks ago
 
Those nice people over at the Literary Mania page voted my page 'Book of the Week' as of 23rd September 2007 so thanks for that! Go check them out at:

Writing piece numbers 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 19 are all attempts at humourous true stories designed for reading aloud on radio, specifically an Irish radio programme called 'Sunday Miscellany' most of these pieces have been on there, with me reading them out (you have to smile as you read, for some reason, which is fairly bloody difficult).

If you'd prefer a bit of regular fiction, try either pieces 2, 3, 4 or 8.

I do a lot of script writing (it's my main thing, really) but items 5 and now 20 are the only radio pieces I've put up here as yet. Number 17 - is the first theatre play extract.

Items 7 and 14 are TV review pieces, somewhat dated now I think.

Number 18 is a little extract from a diary i kept while on holiday in Deya (Majorca). I called it 'A Kick in the Balearics' but I was just trying to be smart really...

Want to hear a radio programme about last year's theatre play?

click here: http://www.rte.ie/arts/2006/1121/the...
and click on 'The Moon Cut Like a Sickle'. Play extracts, cast interviews *author interview* (wow) it's like a DVD extra without, um, the DVD.

This year's play is now in rehearsal for performance in Feb 2008. There's a short extract here:

That's the story... let me know what you think, eh?

And thanks again for dropping by. Y'all come back now, y'hear? :)
