I attended a glamorous award ceremony in Belfast on 1st Feb 2007 with my Mum, Pat, and mother-in-law, Liz - the two most important and influential women in my life - and came 3rd! The prize was a year's subscription to Ulster Tatler and a case of Carolans Irish Cream Liquer - so that can't be bad! 30 years old... To celebrate three successful decades in publishing my Dublin-based publishers, Poolbeg, have published a collection of 30 great short stories called, "30 & Fabulous - Celebrating Thirty Bestselling Years of Poolbeg Fiction" My story "Old Flame" is one of many brilliant stories from Poolbeg's stable of best-selling authors.
