My main publications are the novels The Fisher Child (London, Picador, 2001), The Water Star (Picador, 1999), and The Fabulists (Dublin, The Lilliput Press, 1994/ London, Serif Books, 1995).
A fourth poetry collection, Dialogue in Fading Light, was published by New Island Books in November 2005.
I’ve completed a children’s novel, The Tins & the Pale Lady, and I’m delighted to say that a chapter will be published in a prestigious Brazilian journal.
My current labour of love is a non-fiction work which should be completed Autumn 2012, after which I hope to be immersed in a fourth novel.
I’m a member of Aosdána, which was established in 1981 to ’honour those artists whose work has made an outstanding contribution to the arts in Ireland, and to encourage and assist members in devoting their energies fully to their art.’
My other publications include a chapbook, The Planets and Stars Become Friends, (Gorey, The Funge Arts Centre, 1974); and three collections of verse: Those Distant Summers (Dublin, Raven Arts Press, 1980); After Thunder (Raven Arts Press, 1985); and The Year of the Knife Poems 1980-1990, (Raven Arts Press Dublin, 1991).
