I’ve been delighted these last few days by the number of new followers to the blog, in addition to all the positive comments about our recent posts. Just to introduce myself, I’m Stephen (waves awkwardly) and I write the large majority of the words, ably supported by my wife, PA, Marketing Manager and chief cheerleader, Fionnuala. She occasionally writes as well as do our two daughters, Hannah and Rebecca.
Our eldest, Adam, is much too cool for this blogging caper and can normally be found on the rugby pitch. We live in a small village about 20 miles outside Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I work at stuff I’m not allowed to talk about online or I’d get in a whole load of trouble – draws breath. In the little spare time I have I run marathons (9 so far) and eat copious amounts of honeycomb ice cream and German Biscuits. Go google what they are.
If you’re a regular follower you can look away now but for the newbies, just to let you know I’ve recently published my first novel, an urban fantasy set in modern day Belfast called ‘The Kirkwood Scott Chronicles: Skelly’s Square.’ It’s got a bit of everything – see the blurb below. And don’t I look suitably ridiculous in the author pic, taken in the back alley where I first got the idea for it. I don’t make it a habit to hang around back alleys by the way.
Thanks for checking out the blog. If you like my words then 130,000 of them are available for you today on Amazon in e book and paperback format.

It’s on my Christmas wish list… because it will be Christmas before I finish the stack of reading I have already accumulated! Haha!

Ummmm….so what’s this honeycomb ice cream of which you speak? Describe, please!
And so I don’t seem completely shallow, though I just may be, your blogs lately have been wonderful (though I nay have cried a bit with the suicide one…but there should be tears) and the book sounds great, too.

Seeing positive from you is a great way to start the day 🙂 Also, your author pic is made even more fabulous because of the back story. If I had an author pic taken where my current WIP birthed from, it would show my feet standing on a copy of the Bible and a copy of Paradise Lost, haha! Keep moving forward into the light Stephen!

Thank you Jessica for your kind words. Your book sounds interesting. What genre is it?
LikeLike
It’s young adult/teen fiction. Kind of a Redemption story for the Fallen Angels mixed with the original Faustus Story. I’ll probably get a lot of religious haters but hey xD It’s different.
