Shan Bullock, whose real name was John William Bullock, was the eldest son of Thomas Bullock, JP of Killynick House, a prosperous farmer and bailiff on the Earl of Erne's estate. After working on his father's farm for two years, he became a civil servant in London and spent the rest of his life in the metropolis, writing novels about Fermanagh and London life in his spare time. These included 'By Thrasna River' (1895), 'The Squireen' (1903), 'Dan The Dollar' (1905) and 'Robert Thorne' (1907), the latter with a London theme. He also published two volumes of poetry, 'Mores et Vita' (1923) and 'Gleanings' (1927) and an autobiography, 'After Sixty Years' (1931). A member of the Irish Academy of Letters, he was awarded an MBE for his services to the Secretariat of the Irish Convention, headed by Sir Horace Plunkett.
