About the Author…
Sheila has always loved reading and as a child she used to write stories for her younger sisters as a bribe to make them do her share of the housework. It usually worked!
Although constantly writing, Sheila felt the idea of being a novelist was a bit of a pipe dream and pursued a career in finance. It was the complete opposite of anything she’d ever expected to do but, at least for a time, she enjoyed it.
But the dream wouldn’t go away and in her thirties she decided start writing her first novel. Eventually, after a couple of false starts, ‘Dreaming of A Stranger’ was written and published and became an Irish bestseller.
Since then she’s written more than 25 novels as well as 3 collections of short stories and 2 novels for children all of which have been bestsellers both in Ireland and overseas! They include ‘The Hideaway’, What Happened That Night, Isobel’s Wedding and Suddenly Single and she has sold more than 9 million copies around the world.
