And water - but only when it's not coming from above and there's a boat inbetween.........
Music
I'm not telling - you'd laugh.
Movies
All the ones my partner hates (because they make him cry).
Television
I'll watch anything if I'm tired enough and lying prostrate on the sofa.
Books
I write what I like to read - Irish fiction mainly - gutsy, no-nonsense stuff, but am open to anything - it just has to be well written and have a plot even I can follow...
I'll get the nitty-gritty out of the way first: I'm native Irish, straight from the auld sod where I studied Graphic Design and Visual Communications at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, later working for a short time as a freelance designer before moving to Germany. I started writing in 1999 and haven't stopped since!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My novels are “Peggy Does a Runner”, first published in 2001 by Puff Adder Books - Author-Network (EPPIE Award Finalist 2003 for the Best Single Title/Mainstream Novel. “Peggy” was re-released in October 2006 under the title “Making Tracks” (Wings Press Inc, USA). Further novels are "Casting Off", “Over The Wall” (EPPIE Award Finalist 2009 and Golden Wings Award) and “There and Back”. Three of my short stories are included in the anthology "A Place Between Worlds" published by Fairmount Publishing, Germany. I’ve also assisted in the translation of a book of poetry from German into English - “The Blue Flowered Sofa” (2000 - Der blaue Verlag) and written for Scribesworld. Presently, I'm struggling with the last three chapters of my fifth novel "The Cutting Line".

Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who's willing to call a spade, a spade. I'm a down to earth Irishwoman living in exile - all my own fault of course (but he was worth it...). The result is two crazy daughters who speak to me in a foreign language and the desire to write about Ireland - a difficult task because living abroad urges me to dot my novels with expressions like "ara", "jaysus", and "holy hour". But I'm improving, honestly...

You must have a very interesting life there. I can't imagine what it would be like to be immersedin a foreign culture for an extended period of time. You must be learning a great deal.
