Thank you so much Estella ❣️

First event in Kilkenny, come along if you're free next Friday evening 🐈‍⬛

just remembered I bought The Witches with my First Holy Communion money and was scared shitless by it, my mother complained to the bookshop, a week later later it was the best book I had ever read & I was furious at the film when they they didn't stay mice at the end

Have they changed the ending to the Witches? It was so dark and sad that the little boy wants to stay a mouse so he can die when his grandma does.

Pleased to recommend the brilliant The Stone Keep by Irish YA writer @stellakmarlay in this video for #IrelandReads Day this Saturday Feb 25th

Tech question: has anyone lost track change comments on Google Docs? it seems by sending the document by the email they have vapourised!

Had the best evening at the Booksellers Association party in Cork last night, pitched my next book for the first time! Wonderful to see so many old friends ♥️

Came back to@PresKilkenny today to talk to the girls and to give the staff minor heart attacks by reminding them how long it's been since I was a student! ♥️

Ireland’s legal system is being abused for the purposes of aggressive image management. My piece: irishtimes.com/world/europe/2…

Thrilled to be taking part in this wonderful festival (Mary Gaitskill!). I'll be doing an event with the brilliant Joseph O'Connor on May 27th

Looking forward to this event with Joseph O'Connor & me on Saturday!

I find the Succession sibs deeply relatable and not just because I have three brothers, an Irish name and an uxorious spouse called Tom.

I am concerned about the Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences Bill. It is very easy to imagine a future in which it is weaponized against the very minorities it seeks to protect. If you have not read it - it is here: data.oireachtas.ie/ie/oireachtas/…

Thanks Niamh❤️ H&B has been out a year and is out in paperback this week. It's wonderful to still be hearing from readers about it

I am thrilled to be shortlisted for the John McGahern Book Prize for Hearts and Bones alongside Aingeala Flannery 🇵🇸 for The Amusements and Niamh Prior for Catchlights

I knew all this and still did it which means I'm an idiot but also one with excellent mental health

So beautiful she made you believe in another world. Devastating

Drove five hours to a studio in Offaly/Westmeath border and forgot my cello! Wondering if I could borrow a cello from anyone living near by?? There’ll be a cup of tea in it for you and maybe a biscuit? Xx

The book that has impacted me the most this year.

not on here very much anymore but in case you didn't know, I have a book coming out in April, called The Amendments, it's about love, forgiveness, etc. Thrilled to have early words of encouragement from Emma Donoghue & Joseph O'Connor (find me on Instagram and Substack)
