Based in Wellington, New Zealand, P.D. McShane is an author new to the writing scene, worth taking note of. Pat is a successful business owner that has in recent years put more effort into following his real passion of writing. This is his first book and clearly he has drawn on his past life experiences in his writing.  In the 90’s and 2000’s, Pat trained with British paratroopers, had experiences in Russia, Scandinavia, South East Asia and the Nevada Desert. More recently, he spent time in North Africa.  His exposure to the military and intelligence sectors brings a disturbing reality to his writing.  While this is his first published novel he has a number of other projects underway in a similar genre – a sequel to The Minerva Agenda and, playing to his Irish roots, a story based on Ireland and the IRA are currently being penned.

While Iran and Ireland are core entities in his next novels, Pat currently lives in Wellington, New Zealand, with his wife and twins.
