He began his writing career as a playwright, having a number of works published and produced both here and in Europe. Turning to screenwriting, he was represented by Writers & Artists Agency in L.A. He was commissioned to write a number of screenplays as well as having a number optioned. He won first prize in the 1998 Hollywood Film Festival Columbus Discovery Awards for his screenplay, FINDER'S KEEPERS.

In the Nineties, he wrote and recorded the theme song for the first Fox Children’s Network’s Cartoon series, ZAZOO U. When the network made its debut, the first thing heard was Carson singing the theme song. He also worked for the Fox Children’s Network as a consultant.

His song ONE MAN’S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE has been recorded by a number of artists as well as published in a Macmillan & Co. textbook.

To honor his father - who was born in Dublin, Ireland - he recently became a dual Irish/American citizen. He’s an avid sailor and kayaker and can often be found on the numerous large lakes in the Nashville, TN area or, when he’s lucky, off the coast of Southern Ireland. He currently lives in Nashville, TN, and is actively involved with the local Celtic music scene and has in the last few years released a CD of children's music, a CD of original Celtic-flavored songs, and 3 CD's of old ukulele songs. He often performs at the world-famous Bluebird Café in Nashville. For relaxation, he calls up a swell dame and goes down to the Lower Broadway honky-tonks for a little swing dancing. He has three sons.

Stealing Mona Lisa is his first novel.(less)

The Nashville Flood of May, 2010

It has been strangely ironic that Nashville is currently recovering from its worst flood in history. My house escaped with a flooded basement (it's unfinished so it was no big deal). I spent the weekend before last helping my friend totally gut her house down to the studs. She lost everything and was not required to have flood insurance. At least FEMA seems to be getting this one right.
