I’m an Irish author, historian and heritage advocate from Waterford with a passion for uncovering the stories, symbols and independence journey that shaped our nation. I write books, share history, and help others bring their own stories to life.

I’m launching a course to help Irish writers bring their story to life — from first idea to finished draft. Whether you’re writing historical non-fiction, crafting your first novel, or researching a story rooted in Irish heritage, this course is designed for you. Learn from a multi-published author with real-world experience in turning passion into publication.
I’ll be posting about the powerful symbols that shaped our national identity — from the Tricolour to the harp, shamrock, sunburst, tri-spiral and more. Read these histories here before they are published.
