BIO: From the fields of Limerick to the lights of London - via Vienna, Manhattan, Montmartre, Palermo, Prague, Brussels, Berlin - some of the places I've worked, loved and laughed in. The day jobs are too numerous to mention.

The highbrow stuff: Graduate of Vienna University, fluent in German, French & Italian. EU interpreter in Brussels, UN radio journalist in New York, tourist guide in Munich, BBC TV producer in London.

The lowbrow: Paris - selling foie gras dressed up as an Alsatian in a railway station; Vienna - artists' model; London - playing a medieval sex crazed nun for a serious documentary; Philadelphia - hawking my sister's sophisticated jewelry in the Food Hall opposite a mountain of Amish chickens parts.

But through the highs and lows the one constant was my writing: novels, feature scripts, sitcoms, non fiction, articles - and always, always with a dollop of humour. Enjoy!!
