About

Five things about me…

  • -       one of eight kids, lifestory is the classic immigrant tale of seeking to live up to parental expectations, while working to mark out your own trail.
  • -       I have aspects of an obsessive personality, establishing a work-life balance was a major challenge.
  • -       I gave up on my business career in my mid-forties, I just didn’t tell my boss! Find something you enjoy doing, and you’ll never work another day.
  • -       I tell my kids education is the best gift I can give them, it’s no weight to carry and no-one can take it off you.
  • -       I believe almost everyone has an agenda;  explore perspectives outside the mainstream, and beware suppliers bearing gifts.

Story Behind The Book

Ever feared that life is passing you by? That instead of living a life true to yourself, you life the life that family and friends expect? If so, that's how I once was, working like a machine instead of following my passion. Maybe that was the inspiration for the heroine in When the Siren Calls. She may be wealthy and privileged, but she is married to a workaholic more interested in his emails than his wife's emotional needs. When her stranger comes into her life that treats her like a princess, what's a girl to do? She's married, he's married; he's got as much to lose as she has...or has he?“When The Siren Calls is a sexy, seductive book. There is love, betrayal, infidelity and unexpected twists. There is so much going on, its like watching a really good movie. It’s brilliant.” Books and Reviews

A sexually-unfulfilled wife in a tricky situation and a handsome stranger coming to her rescue in exotic, dangerous Marrakech. What more could you want to escape the global problems we’re faced with every day in the media. Give me good old escapism any time.”<br /> - <em>Alana Woods</em>, author, Imbroglio</p> <p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;line-height:1.5em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Lucida Bright', lucida, Bookman, 'URW Bookman L', serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;">“Wow- Lady Chatterley meets Christian Grey ! Tom Barry has a strong sense of irony and a nose for unearthing what lies beneath the civilised facades we present to the world. It’s exciting to find a new writer who tells life like it is, but with a delectable twist of romance, sex and humour.” - Stephanie J Hale, author, ‘Millionaire Women, Millionaire You.’</p> <p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;line-height:1.5em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Lucida Bright', lucida, Bookman, 'URW Bookman L', serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;">“ A pacy, racy, romance novel that simultaneously feels like a critique of a particular social scene. The prose is very strong technically, and the characters are comprehensive and believable. Isobel is an effective and sympathetic protagonist, and her story is compelling.”  – Tom Fletcher, author, ‘The Leaping’</p> <p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;line-height:1.5em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Lucida Bright', lucida, Bookman, 'URW Bookman L', serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;">“Witty, often deliciously self-conscious and smattered with the best sort of irony, When the Siren Calls is both seductive and funny. If ‘humourotica’ is a genre then Tom Barry is its king; if it does not yet exist then he is its creator.” – Book Connoisseur.</p> <p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;line-height:1.5em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Lucida Bright', lucida, Bookman, 'URW Bookman L', serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;">“I thoroughly enjoyed the way the strands come together as the novel pushes towards climax. –  Matthew Branton, author,  ’The Love Parade’.</p> <p style="margin:10px 0px 0px;line-height:1.5em;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'Lucida Bright', lucida, Bookman, 'URW Bookman L', serif;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;">“I loved this book!
