U.S. vs U.K./Ireland covers for Oyinkan Braithwaite's Cursed Daughters.
Thoroughly enjoyed this multi-generational novel of flawed women navigating family superstitions and secrets, a twist on nature vs nurture, men compounding and confounded by an inherited curse.

I tend to prefer Ireland/UK covers over US, but this is one I really like the US cover.

Check out the @irishtimes.com tomorrow for my interview with Danish writer, Solvej Balle, about her seven part novel, On the Calculation of Volume, about a woman stuck on one day. Balle started work on it in 1987 (six years before Groundhog Day came out). She is currently working on the final volume

I’ve written another romcom! It’s about two scriptwriters who can’t stop arguing but have to work together to save a TV show. Also there is kissing. I loved writing it and you can pre-order it here! linktr.ee/LoveSceneAnn...

Today is World Kindness Day
Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John
After I had given directions to Kathleen (as I was to learn was her name) she headed off with her trusty walking frame, Esmeralda

A woman steps into the shop: Where do I vote?
Me: Are you looking for Carysfort National School?
Her: Yes, I feel it's my duty, I turned 97 yesterday!
