As you do the work of fighting for the right to read, don't forget to spend time with the joy of reading too. Find a new to you author. Return to an old favorite. Lose an afternoon in a book. Remind yourself why you make the calls, write the letters, & give the speeches.

What an honour it was to launch @catherinekirwanbks.bsky.social's fourth novel last night in Waterstones to a HUGE crowd.

#TheSeventhBody is out now 💙📚

It's an absolute cracker. Authentic, engaging & so addictive. A jaw-dropping police procedural set in Cork.

A reminder on World Book Day that some fine literary voices remain unheard. My starter packs of Great #Writers seeking an #Agent Please follow and repost to help them add to that most previous thing, the great global library of books #booksky #writingcommunity #amquerying #wbd #worldbookday #wbd25

Sometimes I write longhand, sometimes straight into a word document, sometimes I map out each scene on a prompt card. It depends on my mood and the stage of writing I am at. It is immensely satisfying putting each completed scene into my tea tin when it is written.

Great fun had by all at the launch of Carmel Harrington’s The Stolen Child in Dublin last night. Selfied with Andrea Mara, Karen Perry and Catherine Ryan Howard, still trying to figure out tagging on this platform!

Ooh just what I need to get started!

Hello, I’m new to this place but I hear the locals are friendly! Hoping for some nice discussions about books, tv drama and all things writing related.
