Someone to talk to : a master's short story collection, 2015
"The stories in this collection are set in a small village in the West of Ireland in the early 1990's. A by-pass around the village has rid them of their once busy traffic. The residents feel forgotten by the world. The need to reach out and be heard is explored in every story, from the young woman who starts to have phone conversations with her husband's gay lover, to the dyslexic man who confronts his cruel teacher years later." -- Abstract.

"This collection intends to support the notion that the power of writing can revise a history unfathomed. While we may or may not recall an incident or an experience as true, we have the power to adjust memory to engage interpretation, and therefore continually rewrite our pasts to better effect a constantly shifting present. These poems address and grapple with that concern." --Abstract.
