Hello. My name is Stephen Coffey, I am a Dublin Born writer, now living in Tennessee. My First book, a childrens novel, is called Zodiac: A Rosemary Herbb Adventure. Coming soon from Publish America. I have written for independant comic books and other online sites. My main liking is for dark fiction. So why did I write a Childrens book? The answer is simple, to prove that I could. I enjoyed writing this book, about a young girl who discovers that she can see ghosts. With the help of some friends, and a mysterious Nanny, Rosemary has to battle her next door neighbor to save the destiny of everyone on the planet.
At the moment I am writing four books. One of which is a follow up book to Zodiac. I like to write ghost stories. Please check back for updates on my work. Also please check out some of the links on this page.
Thank you and God bless.

REVIEWS FOR ZODIAC: A ROSEMARY HERBB ADVENTURE
01/19/2006 Second Review, by Carla Myck Queen of the Flaming Horse
I was only able to read a chapter here and there. But, with my day starting late tomorrow, I stayed up late to get some reading done. I just finished and I had started with almost half the story left. It's almost 1:00 in the morning in my neck of the woods. All I can say is wow. I realize that this story is geared toward a younger audience but I could see it appealing to a much broader group of people. I found it difficult to walk away when I read the occassional chapter. But, tonight, with my evening clear of pressing matters for once, I couldn't walk away until I was done. I'd love to get a copy as soon as it comes out. And I look forward to the possibility of more Rosemary adventures to come.
