Daniel Somers

Birth location is a circumstance of fate. Spiritual home is a choice.

Daniel is a contemporary Donegal Antaeus. His inspiration and energies come especially from Inishowen traditions, people, land, sky and seascapes. A practising Counselling Psychologist, he possesses the uncommon gift of empowering his characters to tell their intimate stories in their own words rather than his.

He describes his writing experience as follows:

“I am simply the fortunate, intuitive psychic at the keyboard who heeded the voices of the characters, attended to their wishes and typed, not what came into my head, but what came out of theirs. For that reason I am circumspect about claiming any credit.”

Daniel lives in the village of Strangford with his devoted wife, Breige Ellen Assumpta.
