Kevin Lynch

writing creates a door to a parallel universe. It is an escape from the humdrum of daily life. I'm not complaining. I live a safe and secure life in a democratic country and earn enough to live on. I'm a Guidance Counsellor at a second level school and pretty happy with that. I have three great kids and a wife who makes me laugh, so on the face of it I couldn't ask for more, but at the same time a lot of life is filled with the usual mundane tasks that keep it all ticking over; cleaning, cooking, shopping, working, commuting, giving lifts, having little squabbles, staring in horror at utility bills etc, so it's nice to have this portal to another world where you can go and wander among the characters you have created and find out what their quirks, foibles, likes, dislikes, motivations are as you dry those dishes or gaze blankly at the back of the car in front of you at the lights. I know I'm never going to be a great writer, but if I'm an ok writer who works at his craft that is good enough for me. I would like to think I can put an original slant on some common experience and create engaging stories with a personal twist. I hope that you, the reader will enjoy the books and that you can find the time to let me know where I've done well and where I haven't done so well.
