I have had two plays produced on radio, and one on stage. I have written
two movie screenplays which, though taken up by production companies, failed
to find financial backing. I have had many poems and stories published in
magazines and anthologies and broadcast on radio and television in a number
of countries.
I have won The Dickens' Fellowship Award, and The
Irish Post Award for Literature.
