Goodreads Author


Member Since
May 2012


Since Michael’s first story was broadcast on Radio 4 as part of their ‘Opening Lines’ series to introduce new writers, he has continued to be published in magazines and online. In 2014 he won the Irish Post short story competition, reading the winning entry at the Listowel Writers’ Festival, and coming third in the inaugural Benedict Kiely prize, which has become the centre piece of the Omagh Literary Festival.

In 2019, his novel, Little Flowers, was published by Brigand. The title refers to a strand of the story in which St Francis of Assisi encounters a werewolf. He is editing the follow up.

Thomas Hardy
“She philosophically noted dates as they came past in the revolution of the year. Her own birthday, and every other day individualized by incidents in which she had taken some share. She suddenly thought, one afternoon, that there was another date, of greater importance than all those; that of her own death; a day which lay sly and unseen among all the other days of the year, giving no sign or sound when she annually passed over it; but not the less surely there. When was it?”
Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles
