about the author

From an early age, Jim has had a love of writing and telling stories. When he was in his twenties he began sending articles into magazines and local newspapers. They were usually short stories. One of these stories, Lost Love, was adapted into a film by an independent filmmaker in the UK. The film was called The Other Side of the Lake and went on to win awards at film festivals. Jim played a part in the film. In 2020 he had a book published in the UK called The Sad Windows. Since The Sad Windows, Jim has been writing his latest novel, No Light in his Eyes. Like the first book, it deals with the what if’s in life along with a supernatural theme. He enjoys writing, history, and walking in his spare time. Jim lives in Dublin with his wife and family.
