Crosshaven 

An original story, with a contemporary music soundtrack, based on the co-writer’s personal experience of a little known incident from the early days of the Northern Ireland conflict. As violence escalates on the streets of Belfast, families are evacuated to the Co. Cork town of Crosshaven, where they encounter hostility and resentment from the locals. In an effort to survive, Liam Rafferty, a streetwise adolescent, finds friendship, romance and a future among the Traveller community, outsiders like himself, who introduce him to the sport of harness racing.

Currently being read by Hat Trick Mercurio Television.

In All Innocence

A fast-moving political thriller in which Vincent Donovan, a hard-bitten, middle-aged Belfast journalist, finally gets to write the story of a major investigation he conducted thirty years previously. A television news report from the Middle East prompts him to revisit old contacts linked to a group of troubled boys, whose extreme actions were covered up by an unholy trinity of politicians, priests and police.

Bobby Dazzler 

Part comic caper, part road movie, in which Bobby Mackie, a well meaning Belfast teenager kidnaps his toddler son and, in the company of his pet monkey, embarks on a roller coaster jaunt to the bright lights of Blackpool. As the three career from one disaster to another, a frantic chase ensues, involving the police, the boy’s mother and a string of unsavoury characters intent on catching up with Bobby for their own dubious ends.

Blister

An edgy, fast-moving movie for young people, set in a gritty inner-city area. The Slam is a piece of waste ground beneath a motorway flyover, which a group of young local skaters have customised as their own space. They are a tight-knit, competitive bunch with their own language and allegiances. When Decky, the unofficial leader of the gang, meets up with Bart, a streetwise Dutch skater, sparks start to fly in all directions and the cutting-edge atmosphere of The Slam suddenly takes a risky, dangerous turn. Tension builds as the action explodes against a specially commissioned urban soundscape.
