Azure Forest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798872136941)

"It was six. Aodh sipped his tea. The darkness had truly descended, and he had no idea where his family could be. The echo of the Angelus made the baroque mother and infant quiver on the television screen. It was chilly, but Aodh did not light the fire. The news came on. There had been a shooting in the North - one man killed, another injured. Aodh pursed his lips and stared into the newsreader's eyes, and she, nonplussed, stared back."

Eleven of the stories in this first volume have been rated in short story competitions in Ireland and the UK. The themes range from an adolescent boy's mental dissolution, to a speculative fiction take on the Northern Ireland conflict. The author deftly tackles his characters' struggles. His hammer falls lightly, enabling his creations to reach their own judgement of themselves.
