I’m a twenty five year old writer from Dublin, Ireland. Despite reading most of the time when I should have been studying, I managed to get into university and studied history at Trinity College Dublin. Afterwards I went on to get a master’s in medical history.
On graduation I worked as a freelance journalist and ghost-writer. I wrote about film, fashion, music, personal finance and business. I’ve since given up freelance journalism and focus all my non-fiction energy on my popular culture blog, Mermaiden.
My debut novel Storms In Teacups was completed in 2011. I sent it out to agents and publishing houses and got a lot of positive feedback, but was told that the economic meltdown meant that they were taking on less authors and that I should wait out the recession and try again.
Patience never being my forte, I made the decision to publish my book independently to coincide with my 25th birthday. The book has sold well, making the bestseller lists in women’s fiction, humour and comedy in both the US and the UK.
In 2009 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. While living with it can be challenging, I try not to let it hold me back.
I live with my husband, foster son, and chocolate Labrador in semi-organised chaos.
