Neville is a published author with four books to his credit. Neville writes about Dublin with a passion, and has that same passion for this website, Neville and Micks dream is for irish-authors to become a focal point for all Irish people interested in Irish Literature. From anywhere in the world were there is a computer, they want isolated Irish people to be able to get the authors works whether they be alive dead, published or unpublished. They want these people to feel that there is always a place were they can go. They passionately want the world to know of the delight there is in Irish Writing, in all of its forms, and want to be able to promote Irish Writing all over the world, to all people.

The purpose of this organisation is to promote the brilliance of Irish Literature, we have and will continue to do that whilst we can.
