Born in Iraq in 1968, the lovechild of Saheed Al Sahef and a western journalist named Rose O'Callaghanm, Keir spent most of his childhood playing in the minefields and learning to assemble AK-47's. "I found great solace in shooting the poor" Keir recalls. "It must have been my way of dealing with childhood fears and fantasies."
In 1984, due to huge gambling debts his father joined Saddams Regime as Minister of Information and he and his mother returned to her native Ireland. After graduating from Art & Business schools Keir moved to England where he worked for a major American fast food chain for 9 years, accumulating over 3 gold stars in his time there.
Still very interested in the arts however, he began writing illustrated short stories about his time in Iraq, drawing on his knowledge of urban warfare & weaponry. In search of a better life, he left England in 1994 and his travels took him as far as France, Norway and Poland before he finally returned to the UK 3 weeks later and settled in Northampton.
Since then Children (and adults) the world over have enjoyed the antics of his spunky one-legged Iraqi junior soccer hero, Bernard; in such tales as Bernard in Trouble, Bernard and the Smoking Gun, Bernard goes to Baghdad and Bernard meets Osama. And millions of preschoolers enjoy the wonderful adventures of Anthrax Puppy, written by Keir O'Callaghan and illustrated by Anthony Worrel-Thompson.
Keir finds that he works most effectively in the morning. "That’s the best time for me to have creative ideas and thoughts," says Keir.
He writes his books in the quiet setting of his appartment in Northampton, where from his window he can see many of the animals he puts in his stories. |

Mikey Howard
Mikey Howard is really not a geordie tosser who supports a e footy team. He is actually someone who was cloned to get the perfect Sailor poster boy. It all started back in the mid 80's, back in the days where Neo still had hair (there is a thought), Ste was not a drug addict and Ian was sane, Alan was not a pedo and Coup was not gay.
They cloned him from lemons, an old newcastle utd shirt and a tracksuit from a scouser. They created a pretty boy who would be the envy of all trade addicts. Fast forward to today, he lives near newcastle and has much patience. He hopes that pvd will return to his former glory and that newcastle will win the premier (snowball chance in hell) and that he will get more than a 56K. Mikey hopes to be poster boy for the british navy one day soon and hopes to get a girl that can stand his bitterness. I thought I was bitter then I met Mikey....who complains at more things than moi (I thought that was IMPOSSIBLE!). Mikey is hiding from his stalker Rockshox who desperately wants to make mad passionate love to mikey. Mikey is not gay tho some suspect he may change teams. Also Mikey wants to be his hero Paul Van Dyk who keeps putting out e vandit records. Mikey hopes to one day work for his hero, Pedo..gary glitter because mikey feels he can get gary what he needs...young boys (Alan got fired from this job because he kept sleeping with the merchandise). All in all..if you see him....tell him that rockshox has sweetened the deal. |

Julie_Spyder as she's known round these parts is an adorable young Polish/ Canadian lass currently residing in that disease ridden city, Toronto. Her mum constantly gets on her nerves and many of her violent mood swings are attributed to this. In contrast to her unnecessarily self depreciating nature she has a huge hug providing heart and will look after anyone who's feeling a bit down. In conclusion; she's great i love her to bits :)  |
