ABOUT ME

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by!

Joseph Birchall spent much of his twenties living abroad before returning to Dublin to establish a successful family business.
A lifelong writer, he penned his first play at just eleven years old. Over the years, he explored screenwriting and novel writing, but family and work took precedence. Eventually, he returned to his first love of writing, carving out time in Dublin’s early morning coffee shops to write.
He lives in Dublin with his wife and three children and still gets up early to write.

Taking over two years to complete, his gritty Irish crime fiction novel, In Plain Sight, is the first in the Detective Darcy Doyle series.

He loves to hear from readers, so please get in touch!
