Brendan Moore

was born in the village of Knocklong, Co Limerick in 1966. The youngest of ten children, I grew up in a happy home where storytelling and singing was encouraged. Like most young men I went to college, got a job and settled down. When the recession hit in 2009 I became unemployed I was forced to change my focus. Like all Irish people my culture is steeped in storytelling so I began to write as an escape from my collapsing world. Six years later my first book was finished. The second has taken eighteen months and I am still writing. Listening has been a vital ingredient for my imagination. Always enjoy hearing about people's experiences and this has definitely helped my storytelling. My first book "The Poacher's Curse" was based on stories I heard as a teenager. I was always able to build a scene in my mind as a story was being told and that is how I write. My latest book "Cast a new Shadow" is a story inspired by people who took the boat to England. I am a qualified storyteller but my apprenticeship as a writer continues.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
