Many congratulations to @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social , whose novel The Benefactors has just been named Waterstones Irish Book of the Year. This is an out-take from a series of portraits of writers I'm working on for @literatureireland.bsky.social.

So here we go, my 23rd offering, publishing in Ireland and online on Feb 5, all going well. The story of yoga teacher Lydia during the most tumultuous year of her life - I hope it finds favour with my cherished readers. 🙂🙂

Happy Halloween, all. Raining steadily here in West Clare, not a sign of a trick-or-treater - and I have a bowl full of mini chocolate bars. Whatever will I do with them?

Wonderful. Thank you!
@wednesdayerskin.bsky.social doesn’t waste words, characters or narrative. Everything in The Benefactors has purpose. I haven’t loved a book so much in a while. You will rage, be resigned, rage some more and know why and how you got there. Go read it!
