I always wanted to be a writer, but I never had any ideas. Not until I was sitting in front of my boss’s office after reading too many Agatha Christies, and started wondering what would happen if he got stabbed in there…
The result was a novel, IT Can Be Dangerous. You can get a signed copy right here, and there’s an electronic version available on Amazon and on Smashwords.
Musing over what my novel’s heroine, Cynthia Hegarty, did after she found her boss’s killer led to a short story, The Mystery of the Elusive Fitness Instructor. It’s available as an ebook, free at Smashwords. It was longlisted for the RTE Guide/Penguin Ireland short story competition in 2011. It’s a ten-minute read. Download it as a pdf from Smashwords and have a chuckle over a cup of tea.
Another story, Only Four Girls, was shortlisted for the RTE Francis MacManus short story prize in 2009 and was broadcast on Ireland’s national radio station, RTE1.
I live with my family at a very scenic location on the Ring of Kerry, Ireland. If you’d like to connect, drop me an email at ita@itaryan.com.
Happy reading!
