Great to see Wendy Erskine in The Observer's debut novel list. Her short story collection, Sweet Home, is one of the best things I've read. The novel, The Benefactors, is due out in June.

@VioletteRecords Wendy Erskine La Violette Societa was at a great new venue last night, Ten Streets Social. It was so good to see Wendy Erskine again, and hear her read from her forthcoming novel The Benefactors. She’s by miles the best writer I’ve discovered in years

Happy publication day to Every One Still Here. We think these stories are pretty special. Don't take our word for it though, here's Louise's: “These are exceptional stories, stark yet richly textured and told in a voice that is at once plain-spoken and lyrical. Liadan Ní

It still feels somewhat surreal, but Show Me Where It Hurts will officially hit Irish bookshops in one week! I’m very proud of this book, and so grateful for the support from the Irish writing community and beyond. Please look out for it in your local bookshop from April 3rd ❤️
