A retreat from the world in hauntingly beautiful Malin Head. Long walks along the cliffs and by the sea shores and reading by a turf fire in the evenings. The batteries recharged and a submission sent off to Winter Papers. Here's hoping!

Forgot to add these to my 2024 books. Septology is one of those books that I will carry with me for life, a beautiful, deeply spiritual and philosophical journey. Hollinghurst's newest novel, Our Evening's, an incredibly moving story of memory, nostalgia and the desire to belong.

Less reading this year. I would normally have read double this amount in that space of time. This was also a year for more non-fiction. Of course, the genocide in Gaza was a huge focus of energy and attention this year, making reading and writing for pleasure feel like too much of a luxury.

Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat is an incredible documentary about the assassination of Patrice Lumumba and the horrific violence and depravity of colonialism. Watching this, I felt depressed at how little has changed but also how rare it is now to find true revolutionary voices.

Paying homage to the wonderful Shirley Jackson on her birthday. She'd be 108 today. She is a writer who I've learned a lot from, especially around how to haunt a text with a vague unease and weirdness, exposing the darkness lurking in the everyday. I've always felt a huge kinship to Shirley.

On this day in 1981 in El Salvador, the U.S. trained death squad the Atlacatl Battalion committed one of the worst atrocities in Latin American history, the El Mozote Massacre. More than 800 civilians were killed on one day, many of whom were women and small children.

Here is a little short story I wrote for Puca Magazine Issue 4. What happens when the past painfully collides with the present, when the bullies of yesteryear appear before you in a new guise and bring all your youthful insecurities right back to the surface?

On this day in 1969, Black Panther Fred Hampton was drugged and shot dead in an FBI COINTELPRO operation. He was only 21 years of age. He fought against the very fascism that killed him, saying that 'nothing is more important than stopping fascism because fascism will stop us all.'
