edit data

M. J. was born in Ireland and lived in the USA for many years before moving to Costa Rica. He wrote his first fiction when he was 21, before life thrust him onto another path. His adventures as an international yacht sailor and professional deep-sea diver provided the hair-rising experiences that allow him to share the raw emotions of fear and conflict with readers. He survived a yacht wreck in the Bay of Biscay and an accident underwater deep below an oil rig in the North Sea. Selling my company several years ago provided the time and financial security to write full time.

Sharpe is real rugged hero who challenges authority and gets the job done no matter what the costs. I love the action in this series.
