Gerry Mullins is from Ireland and lives in the capital Dublin. He began his writing career while living in San Francisco. His first book was Dorothea Lange's Ireland which was a bestseller in 1996. It was based on an archive of Dorothea Lange's photographs taken in Ireland in 1954 that Gerry came across in the Oakland Museum of California.
His second book was a biography of the former head of the National Museum of Ireland, Dr. Adolf Mahr, who has also been head of the Nazi party in Ireland during the 1930s. Gerry's book was based on letters between Mahr and the Jewish-Irish philanthropist Albert Bender during the 1930s that Gerry came across in Mills College in Oakland California.
Gerry's book Testosterone, Dublin 8 is his first novel and is all based in the part of Dublin that he lives in now.
