Author non fiction, branching into literary fiction, plays and screenplays; background mental health nursing, psychology, social anthropology; blissfully married to Fintan and delighted Mom to Fiona, Caitriona, Dearbhla and Orla. Film fan and music lover, delving into jazz nowadays. Vision: successful novel to screenplay to movie; repeat :)
Unique traits: Living just outside Belfast, NI, with my great husband and wonderful daughters, I thrive on writing, from blogs and popular psychology-anthropology, to poetry, short stories, novels and screenplays. My experience ranges from mental health nursing to doctoral research student, health research associate and academic author, to community arts marketing and audience research. My deepest aspirations lie in the direction of screenwriting and book-to-film. I am currently seeking representation/ publication for my first novel, while my ongoong work-in-progress is a screenplay set in a 1980s Belfast Institution. I hope to make inspiring contacts here and to contribute to others' development as and when my own experience grows. Cheers from Belfast!
