Declan Burke has published a number of novels, the most recent being ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL, which won the Goldsboro Last Laugh Award 2012 and was shortlisted in the crime fiction category at the Irish Book Awards 2011. As a journalist and critic, he writes and broadcasts on books and film for a variety of media outlets, including the Irish Times, RTE, the Irish Examiner and the Sunday Independent. The unfortunate affliction of speaking of himself in the third person will soon pass. All views expressed here are very likely to be contrary.

Why thank you very much. I'd add something to display my taser-like wit, only it's a national holiday and I need to defrost the meat for the dinner. Cheers!

I fell upon eolai's scribblings before, even submitted a few names which had the honour of being included in his drawings.

Ah tis a small t'interweb all the same.
