Finn lives in York where he teaches, writes and desperately tries to avoid growing up. He is an historian, an execrable poet and a hopeless romantic. He is also a little bit obsessed with Robert Smith and craft ale. He sees none of these things as character flaws.​

Serenity Song is his first novel: Inspired by the chance discovery of a family secret that had remained hidden for a generation, Finn rather rashly travelled to Ireland where he began to piece together a story best forgotten. However, in doing so, he couldn't help but wonder at what could have been - what should have been.

Serenity Song is the fiction born of rigorous historical research, an over active imagination and too much red wine.

It's just the way the sun catches the water...

When you're punting along the shallow waters of life and all is well with the world, it's virtually impossible to see, or even imagine, that sharing the same waterway as you - just inches below the surface - are a quarter of the world's population.

450 million souls.

Every fourth person you'll ever meet.

It's just the way the sun catches the water that makes them invisible to you.

“I’m always hungry, so I am. Well so long, James, and heed my
advice: a man’s chosen history is like a suit of armour – it defines
and defends him, but viewing the world through a visor distorts
his perception, and to prise it off the man, you’ll have to kill him
first.”
He winked and smiled with sharp, white teeth.”
Finn Dervan, Serenity Song

“Padraig smiled. Like the moonshine he brewed, Brendan O’Rourke was raw spirit; a man distilled into a single notion – that though rough and unpalatable to some – was undeniably intoxicating. He believed in a free Ireland and would fight for it when the chance came.”
