The book isn’t out until January in Ireland and March in the States, but if you’d like a copy eventually here is the pre-order discount code. I’ll share it again and have some launches planned in Bellaghy, Belfast and Dublin for late Feb/ early March. Do come along, I’d be glad to see you.

My books finally arrived! Very grateful to the team at @cambridgeup.bsky.social for the superb production and supporting the project.
Thinking today of the late David Fitzpatrick who began this project and to whom it is dedicated, and also of my mother who would have loved to see it in print.
