Brian O'Sullivan

Brian O'Sullivan was born in county Cork, Ireland. Now based in New Zealand, he runs a small publishing company (Irish Imbas Books) with his family but returns to Ireland on a regular basis. Weekly articles on Irish folklore, aspects of Irish culture and on his writing can be found on his own website at: http://irishimbasbooks.com or on the Irishimbasbooks Facebook page. Brian writes fiction that incorporates strong elements of Irish culture, language, history and mythology. These include literary short stories, mystery thrillers (The Beara Trilogy) and a contemporary version of the Fionn mac Cumhaill/ Fenian legends (The Fionn mac Cumhaill Series). Although he writes predominantly for an Irish audience, Brian's unique style, attention to historical accuracy and humour has meant that his books have become firm favourites of readers all around the world. He still needs to get out more.
