Very grateful to have received an Arts Council Agility Award

As well as freeing me from some (less creative) work - giving me time to write, it is hugely encouraging to have this kind of endorsement

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go and write the thing I said I'd write...

The only downside about going to the Tyrone Guthrie Centre to write for a whole week...is that you have to come home and take out the bins and go to Tesco and decide what to put in the air fryer.

Amazing week. Thanks to Kildare County Council Arts Service for the Residency Bursary Award 2025.

Lovely to see my short story published by Silver Apples Magazine - this one is about a boy who has a lot of worries: does his Dad like him? What's up with Mam? And will we ever get abs? #shortstories #fiction
