- Me, Myself, and I
- I write books for/about young people. My first novel – MARTYN PIG – was published in 2001, & my eighth – KILLING GOD – is published by Penguin in June this year (see my blog for an extract) . Other books I've written include: LUCAS, KISSING THE RAIN, CANDY, THE ROAD OF THE DEAD, BLOODLINE, I SEE YOU BABY (co-written with Catherine Forde), BEING & BLACK RABBIT SUMMER. They're books about real things, real lives (with occasional touches of other stuff), and although I wouldn't describe them as crime fiction, they often have crime fiction/thrillery elements in them. I like to write about the darker side of things, & I'm not known for my happy endings.

no wonder I couldn't find it! It's horrible enough that they had to change the title though, I like the title, it stands out to me
When is "Killing Gods" going to come out in the US?
I pretty much got into University by telling them how much reading "Lucas" inspired me to write. Thanks for writing it! Favourite book
Just had to say, finished The Road of the Dead last night, its incredible! I think its amazing how you can create such vivid imagery without going all Sue Monk Kidd on it. Im your publicist here in County Kilkenny haha. Thank you for such Brilliant books!!!!
More than welcome!! U rock!!
Hi!! You are my favourite author! I read Candy a few years ago and i thought it couldnt get better than that, but then after Lucas and Killing God i was proved wrong!! Just finished Black Rabbit Summer last night and it is amazing!! Literally couldn't put it down!! Searching every bookshop i see for more of your books!! You're my idol!! xxxxxxx
