Born in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, Oliver Sands maintained his relative sanity by escaping into the works of fiction his parents kept in their modest bookcase. It was there he discovered his love of character and story.
He left the North with an engineering masters and a dark sense of humor, and spent some years in Galway, Dublin and London, before totally ignoring his aversion to heat and Vegemite by settling in Sydney. He returns to Ireland when he can and would like to grow old in Donegal.
His first novel, Breeda Looney Steps Forth, was released in early 2020. To learn more about his upcoming books and say hello please visit OliverSandsAuthor.com
