I'm a writer and obsessive creative who lives in beautiful Galway in the West of Ireland. I also draw cartoons, paint and make stuff. You can see some of my non-writing work on DeviantArt, where I go by the name Merryman. Check it out here.

By day I am a registered technology transfer professional, which basically means I send emails all day. I'm pretty much over-qualified for every other job out there and I have degrees in science and the arts and a PhD in microbiology. And yes, I do like to sprinkle a little science into my writing.

I'm married to Ann and we have four gorgeous kids.
