Stewart Stafford
Stewart Stafford was born in New York City to Irish parents. The family moved back to Ireland when he was three years old. He has lived there ever since. His natural gift for writing appeared early. His first school report card when he was five had just one comment at the end: "Stewart writes very interesting stories." He listened to his grandmother's tales of the Banshee in her kitchen and was enthralled and terrified. It was direct exposure to Ireland's Celtic storytelling tradition and he was hooked. Stewart loves the folktales, traditions and superstitions of Ireland, the country that gave the world the festival of Halloween and Dracula author Bram Stoker. He went on to do an Irish Folklore course in University College Dublin. He also has qualifications in Theatre Studies, Criminology and Social Media for Business.
