Herbie Brennan’s work has been published in more than fifty countries, including Britain, the United States, Japan, Denmark, France, Australia, Poland, Israel, Turkey and various Latin American countries.

Herbie became interested in psychology as a child and was studying books on the subject virtually from the time he was able to read. 

He found himself pursuing several unorthodox lines of research, including hypnosis, and actually hypnotised his first subject — a school friend - at the age of nine!

He started work as a journalist when he was eighteen and at twenty-four became the youngest newspaper editor in Ireland, where he still lives. By his mid twenties, Herbie had published his first novel, an historical romance. At age thirty, he decided to devote most of his time to full-length works of fact and fiction and since then has published more than ninety books, many of them international best sellers. 

Today he works as a full-time author with an interest in, among other things, spirituality, reincarnation, and quantum physics!  He has broadcast and lectured about his work throughout the UK and Ireland.

Herbie has written many children’s books in addition to his adult work.  He was among the very first writers to create adventure gamebooks and his GrailQuest series was very popular.
