I once came 2nd in a big literary comp in England in the early 00s. Went to the celebrations, quite chuffed. Bought great boots with some of the loot! 1st prize winner took it coolly I didn't think she really appreciated her award. And now she's a Tax Adviser. Not a writer.😭

And thank you Books Upstairs for having me in to sign Walking Ghosts! Mercier Press Books Lorraine Courtney @

Thank you Sheila O'Reilly 🇮🇪🇪🇺
