Finn lives in Ireland, surrounded by rogues and the sea. Finn is a pen name and away from writing he is a multi award-winning exec across investigative journalism, comedy and drama. A previous career took him to the places featured in his novels, which draw upon real events or direct experience. A commercial skipper, he spends most of his time on the water, often with the 'real' Isla, upon whom swathes of his novels are based. The Sam Ireland series can be read in any order.
