Alan Early

Alan was born in Leitrim, Ireland and now lives in Dublin, in the sometimes-posh and leafy suburb of Ranelagh. He studied in the National Film School, Dun Laoghaire. Upon graduation in 2008, He co-founded Annville Films. From an early age Alan used to write and illustrate short stories about Banshees and ghost animals and whatever else struck my imagination. His first attempt at writing a novel was while he was still at school and was about, amongst other things, a telepathic fish. When he was about ten, Alan visited Dublinia, a recreated Viking village and so began an interest in Viking lore that survives today.

He like books that have pages made of paper and also a beginning, middle and end. He is a picky eater but, despite that, quite like raisins. Alan dislikes writing biographies about himself.
