#JHISS25 presents the finest Criminal Minds in literature... (Plus the wholly innocent Paul McAvinchey!) #CrimeFiction #SummerSchool #IanRankin #JaneCasey

Can't think of a better way to spend a Wednesday afternoon than in the company of Donal Ryan... A remarkable writer and a lovely fella! #JHISS25 #georgeorwellprize #literature

Another great audience for our final #JHISS25 Poetry event - Gallery Goes, featuring Polina Cosgrave, Kelly Michels and Vrona Groarke. #JHISS25 #Poetry

Great evening at the The John Hewitt Society discussing non traditional routes to publishing - from Walter Scott to Virginia Woolf, independent publishing is anything but non-traditional. (Hope you all liked the wee yarn about Prins Willem with the printing press on his boats!😉)

Thank you for inviting me there, to Malachi O'Doherty for the interview & to the lovely audience for coming 🙏

I have some unexpected news - my debut novel is being published by Alien Buddha Press, due late Sept/October. Details of a launch are pending. Did You Pay the Piper Man? is a literary spec fiction novel, with a dose of time-bending magic realism. 1/
