About Ross O´carroll-Kelly
Paul Howard helps Ross O'Carroll-Kelly to write his autobiographical series, largely because Ross can't really write, roysh? Find out more at rossocarrollkelly.com. He is also the author of the bestselling prison expose, The Joy, and co-author of Celtic Warrior, the autobiography of boxer Steve Collins. A former Sports Journalist of the Year, Paul covered the World Cup in Japan and Korea in 2002, and the rugby World Cup in Australia in 2003. His account of the Irish soccer squad and the notorious drama in Saipan, The Gaffers: Mick McCarthy, Roy Keane and the Team they Built, was a bestseller. Paul has also written several massively popular plays and has won the popular fiction prize at the Irish Book Awards three times for books in the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series.
Reviews for Ross O´Carroll-Kelly, PS, I scored the bridesmaids
'The Ross O'Carroll Kelly books are pretty much a cultural phenomenon. In the best tradition of Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn and closer to home A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man they follow a callow youth taking and making the difficult journey into adulthood.'

'This book would make an excellent stocking filler
and a great way to pass a St Stephens Day afternoon.'
Evening Echo

Read him and weep, and pray your children never end up living or sounding like him. ... Not an exact reproduction of Dublin life, but a very funny one.

The Irish Times
`This guy is so hilariously arrogant, obnoxious and clueless that you have to laugh rather than hate. It makes you glad you are slightly normal.'
Laois Nationalist `Written phonetically in the voice of a south Dublin native, the text is littered with teenage slang, inappropriate language and a politically incorrect attitude fuelled by copious drinking.'
Irish Farmers Monthly `Auld Ross is a bit of a `love him or hate him' character. It probably helps if you have encountered a similar type in real life (and it's hard not to if you live in Dublin or went/go to UCD) - then Ross' delusions are entertainingly familiar. But if you don't know what `morketing' is or the words `Kielys' and `Anabels' are just girls names to you, then you may not get the joke. Roysh?'
