: About Me

Hi, this is A.J. Carron.

I'm a little bashful about revealing personal information to the world, but I will do my best.

I live in the countryside in the West of Ireland with my wife and three children. 

I've been a Soldier, a Traffic Warden, a Chef, I've transported deadly liquid chemicals around the UK, I've been a Painter & Decorator and also an Aircraft Technician, specialising in Sheetmetal & Composites.

I'm addicted to writing. 

I also love music, reading books, taking long walks, exotic vacations, Xbox & PS3  online gaming, diving, driving, movies, anything to do with the Supernatural and the Unexplained, Discovery & History channels, Martial Arts, and much, much more!

Keep the faith!

Oh, and don't forget to check out "My Links".

Sometimes he would also grow barley or wheat, from which bread could be made and he also had a large greenhouse in which he grew other nice stuff. Every year when he was ploughing a certain field, he'd make sure that he didn't damage the little Fairy-Fort that lay in the middle and would always plough ...
