Hello. Thank you for visiting. Brief Bio: Born in Southern Ireland. Moved to England at age 14. Worked in advertising, publishing, marketing, selling and mail order in UK. Now living all -year-around in sunny Sarasota, Florida. My hobby and my love is writing and self-publishing. When I said to my wife, “I want to write a book. What shall I write about?” She said, “Write about what you know.” Since we had moved 10 times in 25 years and I had sold each house by myself, I wrote and published , “How to Sell Your House Without an Estate Agent.” I managed to sell 5,000 copies (three editions) in 90 days without spending a penny on paid-for-advertising! How? Simply by sending a one-page press release addressed to a named person in over 100 newspapers in the UK and Ireland. Who to? Not the Books Editor, as you might imagine, but the Features Editor. 15 National Newspapers reviewed my book. Free PR Template e-mailed on request.
