I started writing during the five years I worked as a self employed financial trader. It helped me take my mind off all those financial charts and constant fear of losing my shirt. I wrote mostly blog articles and some short stories, whilst all the time reading furiously on every subject under the Sun.
I wrote the novel ‘Beyond the pale’ (the outlander) whilst experiencing a deluge of inspiration and imagination which followed his decision to stop trading. The original inspiration came from an obscure dream premonition of the American seer Edgar Cayce which shared a common root to a very old Hopi prophesy concerning alternative cultures surviving great ‘earth changes’. That being said, it is really an adventure story driven by an all consuming romance and a strong friendship between two men from alternative cultures. It just happens to be set in the future and contain a few profound insights.
I am currently working on another unrelated story, and plans to follow up Beyond the Pale with a sequel.
I was named Senan by his father Patrick Gilsenan who thought that the name would look good on the cover of a book. He was an Irish printer who yearned to see his own prose and poetry appear in print. Sadly he died before achieving either ambition. I left behind the beauty of Sligo in Ireland to set off for London and make a succession of bad career choices. These included working ten years as a computer systems engineer, and many years as a bar manager and also as an employment adviser. I still lives in London where I got married and have a family.weniger sehen
