A member of Mayo Writers’ Block, her work has been featured in La Bouche, Flash International and local publications. She is currenly redrafting her first novel.

Ken Bruen was born in Galway in 1951. He spent twenty-five years as an English teacher in Africa, Japan, S.E. Asia and South America but now lives in Galway with his wife and daughter. He is one of Ireland’s leading crime writers and is the author the highly acclaimed Jack Taylor series of novels, set in Galway, the first of which was The Guards (2001). A film version of Ken’s novel, London Boulevard, written and direction by Oscar winner William Monahan (screenwriter of The Departed) and starring Colin Farrel and Keira Knightley will be released later this year. Ken has been a finalist for the Edgar, Barry, and Macavity Awards, and the Private Eye Writers of America presented him with the Shamus Award for the Best Novel of 2003 for The Guards.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010, 7pm-10.30pm, FREE
Whitechapel Art Gallery,
80 Whitechapel High Street,
Aldgate East,
London,
E1 7QX
It is our sad and solemn duty to inform you of the Funeral of Richard Tyrone Jones, Esq. The performance artist, Director of ‘Utter!’, ‘ringmaster of spoken word’ (Three Weeks), ‘thoughtful and ginger poet’ (Tim Key) and absent father Richard Tyrone Jones will, in February 2010, reach the age of 30. As this represents the end of all meaningful life, his funeral will take place at Whitechapel Art Gallery, 7pm prompt, on Thursday 18th February 2010.
“While he peacefully ‘sleeps’ in a bamboo coffin surrounded by flowers, the life and work of the man known as ‘RTJ’ will be commemorated by poetry, hymns and tributes from some of his closest celebrity friends and admirers including uplifting poet Paul Birtill, filmmaker Robert Sears, newspaper columnist Tom Phillips, and the mothers of his five-plus sperm-donated children.
The funeral will be officiated by the Reverend James McKay, and will include the anticipated reading of Tyrone Jones’ will, a selection of his work and a message of hope to his children from beyond the grave. They will end with a wake at nearby pub the White Hart. It’s what he would have wanted. Mourners are encouraged to send flowers rather than giving money to charity.
