So here we are!
Over the last two years, my sister Susan and I, along with her husband Vitya have created a series of stories around a bunch of characters based in the lakes and mountains of the North West of Ireland.
The stories are interesting in that they are not only in text form but in colourful descriptive music and illustrations and are perfect for both print and downloadable multimedia applications and are mainly geared towards the 8-12 year olds but also have a deeper adult message for the child within 🙂
The first two tales of approx. 10,000 words, music, graphics are complete bar editing, which brings me to the reason for this message.
We now need to hook up with a publishing agent to take this potentially huge project further, and it is quite complex in that we have several mediums to tie together.
So if you have imagination, are up for the challenge of bringing this to life, contact me and I’ll fill you with the enthusiasm that has driven these beautiful stories and characters.
This is face to face stuff, not “send me your first three chapters” so be brave and talk to me, don’t be reading about in twelve months time and saying “I wish I’d looked at that project”. Believe me, it’s worth it!

I am a session bassist and contemporary composer based in Ireland, most of my studio work these days is done from my own studio via Dropbox etc. I am also a member of Derek Ryan's touring band.
I play Double bass and Bass guitar and most recently a derivative of the Chapman Stick, the NS Stick and several other instruments when I must :-)
I have two solo instrumental albums on release called "End of a longer day" and "A small shadow" and my sister Susan and I are currently writing and recording a series of Audiodramas/Books called the The Todalie Stories, a series for kids of all ages including adults that refuse to grow up. comprising Text, Audio & Illustrations (by Vitya Malirsh), inspired by special people, the unseen little folk, and other fantastic creatures that inhabit the woods, streams and lakes on this island .
The stories explore the concept of triumph over adversity and illustrate the importance of inclusiveness, the powerful impact of community spirit, bringing together disparate groups to achieve a common goal in a respectful inclusive space.
The first story (abridged) is available as a Podcast called The Todalie Stories on all good podcast providers and on www.todalie.com.
During lockdown I completed a course in Music Composition for Games in Pulse and Griffith College Dublin, and am currently involved in several exciting writing projects so watch this space!
