About

I have written professionally for many years beginning in the area of magazine journalism. I self-published two books: the memoir A Grand Madness, Ten Years on the Road with U2 and Homecoming, a book of poetry illustrated with my graphite drawings. More recently, I had two other books traditionally published: Power's Garden, a novel, and Spirit Stones, Unraveling the Megalithic Mysteries of Western Europe's Prehistoric Monuments. My memoir, A Grand Madness, U2 Twenty Years After, a sequel to the memoir noted above, was released in October of 2019. A short story collection was released in October of 2020.
