About This Man

I am the product of two families of lawyers. My mother’s father was a judge; my father, his three brothers and their father, all lawyers. They had a law firm called Morin, Morin, Morin & Morin. Mo-Mo, is was affectionately called. They were iconoclasts, all – French Canadian Catholics in a profession controlled by Brahmins, and Republicans in a city controlled by Irish democrats.

I am a lawyer, too, although that’s something that I do, not who I am. Generally, I don’t really enjoy being with most lawyers.

In the recent past, I got into fiction writing and wrote several manuscripts, three of which I published as novels (two co-written with Susanne O’Leary). Those and a bunch of short stories can be found on my Amazon page. I lost that mojo a while ago, but it was fun to do – and very hard work.

I also enjoy playing blues guitar in crowded shithole bars. I write and record my own songs with my handy iPad Garageband app, and I put them all up on my Youtube page. You’ll also find some silly animated videos I made to promote my novels. This one here really cracked them up.

I live on the seacoast south of Boston in a small town called “Scituate,” in a 110 year old house that looks it. I have two children, both of majority age, and a remarkably beautiful wife who puts up with me, most of the time with a grace and patience I don’t deserve.
