About Me

I'm from Northern Ireland, attended law school in Cardiff, Wales, worked in London, and came to the US in the nineties where I slaved as an attorney while teaching myself to write fiction on the commute to Long Island and then NYC. My first novel--aka the 'cutting your teeth' one--still exists as bits and bytes on a floppy disk and will probably never get revisited because I got sick to death of the heroine after spending two years with her. So bored with her situations did I become (or was it an unwillingness to do yet another edit?), I packed her into a trunk and commenced my second novel that's a wee bit based on life experience. (Literary purists and highbrows will despise me for saying that, but, hey, it's ninety-nine percent fiction.) It's called A Son Called Gabriel, got a great cover slapped on its hardback, and beat a path to the bookshelves. And then it took on a life of its own by getting selected as an ABA BookSense Pick and becoming a finalist in a couple of literary awards. I'm now busy with the screenplay of my second novel, a transatlantic tale set in London and NYC. E-MAIL: mdmcnicholl-AT- gmail-DOT-com
