His uncle had a Harness Maker's shop there, and it was a magnet for all sorts of colourful characters. It was there that his love of words was kindled by the stories of John B.

His hobby is writing short stories, twenty of which have already been published over the years. They have now been published by iUniverse as Dreamin' Dreams, a collection of Irish short stories. His novel, Once On A Cold And Grey September, was published in 2002, also by iUniverse.
