About

I want to thank my amazing readers who love and support my art

I was born in Ireland and have lived in California for many years. I wrote my first fiction when I was 21, before life thrust me onto another path. My adventures as an international yacht racer and professional deep-sea diver provided the hair-rising experiences that allow me to share the raw emotions of fear and conflict with readers. I survived a yacht wreck in the Bay of Biscay and an accident underwater deep below an oil rig in the North Sea. Selling my company several years ago provided the time and financial security to write full time.

Some fun facts about me

  • I’ve traveled to over 40 countries
  • I was visiting a pipeline company in Bolivia when Eva Morales sent the army in and for a moment it was touch and go if I could get out of the country
  • I was a national judo champion when I was 18
