'Missle little mattle hattle cattle on the landing'. I *love* when a new Keith Ridgway #story lands [anywhere]. Always perfect pacing, characterisation, barmy-but-real language as world-building, and that special way of messing with the reader's head while telling a story, wildly & elegantly. 👏 👏

I read a story on stage a few months back with Annie Lanzillotto. She's just phenomenal! Charisma by the skipload, an incredible life story, has overcome so much illness and is pure hilarious. If you're in Dublin next Tuesday, don't miss this #PridePoets evening at Street 66, Parliament St., D2

Fond memories from 2011. My first "serious" publication. Maeve Binchy was at the launch and she was so kind and encouraging to us all.
