October was a busy month with lots of interesting and varied happenings.  My latest novel Spider - my first venture into young adult fiction,  was launched and has had some great reviews. The Irish Examiner said it was  ‘ a triumph of teenage fiction.’  The Edinburgh Evening News did a feature on me click on this link to read it  http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/features/Teenage-car-thief-inspires-city.4574448.jp

My new novel, Spider is officially launched. Spider is a novel for teenagers about teenage love, loyalty and fast cars.

‘Spider is on his last warning. If he is caught joyriding agian he will be sent down, no questions asked. He’s trying to stick to the straight and narrow but his girlfriend Deanna and mate Andy reckon he should risk one last RUN.

Spider is an adrenaline-fuelled ride - a compelling glimpse into a life spinning out of control’
