Hello, and welcome to my web site.

I started writing in 1982 and published my first book, Irish Folk & Fairy Tales in 1983. Two further collections followed and now, more than twenty-five years later, they are still in print. On these pages, you will find links to most of my publications, plus the foreign editions and examples of some unused book covers. I will get around to writing notes and comments on every title, but do bear with me - there are a lot of books, and lots more to come.

The exciting news is that my next book, The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has gone global. It has now sold into 30 countries and movie rights to the entire series have been optioned. Check out The Alchemyst page for more details.

There is a FAQ which should answer most questions, but if you have anything specific you would like to ask, then do use the Email link. It is in the form of a graphic to prevent it being harvested, so just type it into your mailer. I will respond to every email, but please have a little patience.

If you have read anything of mine recently and would like to comment, then do drop me a line; like most writers, I love to hear from readers.

There is also a linked web page to my "Anna Dillon" web page. Anna Dillon is probably my best known pen-name. 

Thanks for dropping in, and do keep in touch
