John Brady, Author

A native of Dublin, John is a naturalized Canadian, and lived just north of Toronto. Trained as a teacher, he divides his time between teaching, writing and raising a family with his wife Hanna. With a mother from the west of Ireland, and a father from Dublin, John"s home growing up was one where imagination and character were at the core of life. He continues to visit and stay in Ireland and Austria. Both in writing and in teaching, John keeps on stubbing his toe on Yeats" aphorism: "Only that which is useless, or can’t be taught, is irresistible."

To date, John has written eight Minogue books, all set in Ireland, and the first of an Austrian series Poacher"s Road, a police procedural centered around Felix Kimmel, an officer in the (rural) Austrian Gendarmerie.
