So looking forward to next week's event with @roisinm.bsky.social in Ennistymon's lovely Banner Bookshop. It's going to be great to be back in Clare.
(I'm on Clare FM's Morning Focus show this morning around 9.45. btw. Have a listen if you're near a radio)

Looking forward to being one of Deirdre Walsh's guests on @radiokerry.bsky.social 's Talkabout programme today. We'll be chatting about my new novel ONCE A YEAR - what inspired it, what it's about, and where to find it in the Kingdom's brilliant bookshops and libraries

Heard today that only a few places remain for my November workshop @dinglelit.bsky.social. So here's the link to book if you'd like to join us. And if you know anyone else who might like to come along, do share this post

I'm back in the Kingdom.

There are now signed copies of my new novel ONCE A YEAR and of the handsome paperback edition of THE BOOKSELLER'S GIFT in Tralee bookshops.

These facts are not unrelated.

Q: What's better than a bookshop that sells wool?
A: A bookshop that also has a cafe, sells musical instruments

Huge thanks to Joh and Sinéad at The Bookworm in Thurles (and apologies to Sinéad for interrupting the pricing process)

Nothing beats the warmth of a bookseller's welcome 🤗 If you're in Kildare or Kilcullen you'll find signed copies of ONCE A YEAR in Seanchaí Books where I had a great book chat with Ber, and Woodbine Books where Dawn and Paula spoiled me with chocolates

Every bookseller I met today in a stock-signing gallop around the outskirts of Dublin spoke of you and your books with so much affection and admiration. Aren't we lucky to work in a field of such mutually-supportive colleagues? x

Ended a long cheerful day of stock signing in bookshops around Dublin with brilliant bookchat @ravenbooks.bsky.social

Thank you, Louisa. It's always a joy to visit your gorgeous shop 🥰

Plenty of signed copies of ONCE A YEAR in The Maynooth Bookshop and Antonia's Bookshop, Trim. Flew into Dublin this morning, hit the ground running and had such a lovely welcome from Antonia and Barbara, and from Helen in Maynooth.

It was both! Cabin crew coped splendidly and we just managed to get away on time. Am now having a cup of tea in Dublin airport before book-signing round the city.
