Welcome to my personal website, where I share some of my research and writing in the fields of medieval history and literature, and creative non-fiction. My best-selling volume of essays, Fierce Appetites (Penguin, 2022; paperback 2023) was shortlisted for the Non-fiction Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards in 2022. My academic research monograph, History and Salvation in Medieval Ireland, is available from Routledge. For my non-academic writing, I am represented by my agent, Robert Caskie. For academic-related matters I can be reached via my Maynooth University contact details.
