About Me

I now move back and forth between Ireland and the UK because of work and my relationship. Although I have worked as a model since I was twelve years old, I am now focusing on other things. I am involved in a new dance studio for children and young teens, primarily, and also have two collections of poetry published. Being taken seriously as a writer has changed my perspective on a lot of things. A couple of years ago I became involved with a group of artists, writers and musicians called Ambiance artists. My first published work was a collaboration with one of the visual artists in the group. A.S.P. Books, who publish my work, is a co-operative venture inspired by the success of independent record labels. We believe that we can break free of the traditional publishing mold. However, without the promotional resources of the major publishing houses we rely primarily on people spreading the word through the internet and supporting us by buying our books :) You can visit our website at www.artandsole.org.uk or check some of the links in my blog to published works.
