My life has never been quite ordinary. Coming from a line of Irish mystics more or less guarantees that. But to tell you the truth, I think writing stories for a living is what opened the door to genuine adventures for me (and to quite a few humorous misadventures to go with them!)

An Incident Prone Life

Blessed by a lively curiosity, the Irish gift for peeking behind the veil, and the fact that I was born in interesting times – all this has provided me with plenty of fodder for my tales.

Astrology, Martial Arts, Chinese Medicine, alternative healing modalities and many metaphysical disciplines have all contributed unusual experiences to my life, but researching my books has been the true magic carpet to Saints and gurus, lamas and Medicine Men, sexual adepts, countries, cultures and quite a few other centuries.

You might say, as I pursued stories, experiences pursued me.

A Writer’s Life is a Wild Thing

It takes you to places and people you’d probably never experience in a 9 to 5 world.

If you have the illusion that writing novels is a sedentary enterprise, please hang onto your hat as I take you to a few of the places stories have taken me… shooting from horseback with Native Americans, attending an exorcism, panning for gold… that kind of thing. Once you set out on the research path, you just never know what you may find besides whatever it is you thought you were seeking!

You’ll find stories relevant to each book on the book pages of my site. This list is just the tip of the iceberg… lots more stories are on their way… but it might be fun to browse around what I call the Stories Behind the Stories. This list is just the tip of the iceberg… lots more adventures are in progress…
