Personal Interests

He is an avid runner, running every day; he has completed numerous marathons, half-marathons and 10K races over the past 40 years. He travels widely and loves to run in different countries, finding this an excellent way of discovering new places and spaces. However, he loves to walk the therapeutic countryside and coastline of the beautiful Glens of Antrim, where he and his wife spent all of their formative years. He is a keen sea swimmer in his home town of Ballycastle, but especially in the warmer Mediterranean! He is a strong proponent of animal rights, and has followed a vegan lifestyle for over four decades. He played amateur league football, playing most of the time as striker. He has been a lifelong supporter of the Northern Ireland football team, is a season ticket holder for all of their home games and travels regularly to watch them play their away games. A highlight for him was when they won their qualifying group in the Euros 2016 and played in the finals in France, where he watched them play in Nice, Lyon and Paris. He collects music from the 1960s and plays it often when he writes. He is also interested in the history, language and literature of the Glens of Antrim.
