A.J. Healy was born and raised in Dublin. By the age of
three, A. J. had taken a drugs overdose (accidental*) crashed the
family car through the garage (probably accidental) and been suspended
twice from school. When A.J. was five, his father left the family home
and emigrated, leaving his mother (Marguerite) to bring up A.J. and his
younger brother alone, until she remarried six years later —
subsequently introducing another baby boy to the family. Having
completed school and a BComm, A.J. travelled the world, working in
Australia, before taking a job with Goldman Sachs in London. Two years
later, he left Goldmans to start a brick factory in one of South
Africa’s townships. After a series of mishaps and adventures (including
being held-up at gunpoint and losing a number of lorries) A.J. returned
to Europe, involving himself in a variety of ventures.
In October 2001, at the age of 32, A.J. ditched the world of
entrepreneurial endeavour (and vice-versa) to follow his life-long
passion — getting up late and writing plays & stories.
A.J. had put aside a number of years' worth of savings to fund his
writing efforts but, due to bad luck (or complete stupidity), he lost
all these savings at the start of 2002.
Slightly peeved, humbled and surviving on berries & own-label
beer, A.J. shut all financial worries from his mind and wrote ‘Tommy
Storm’.
