My name is Denis O'Leary. Welcome to my website.
I was born in 1961 in Brisbane, Australia, and attended Clairvaux College until 1978. After leaving school, we moved to my father's hometown in Ireland for a year. I remained in Ireland, and travelled extensively throughout Europe, North America, and Asia over the next few years, eventually visiting over 30 countries. I married in Ireland and stayed there until 2008, when I moved back to Australia with my wife Sheila, and our three children. I now work in Brisbane in the travel industry.
My first published work was Cold Comfort, a short story published on the Australian Crime Fiction Database in 2008. I have republished an updated version of it on Smashwords.com where it is available for download.
Recent works.
