Once in a while a novel comes along thats make humble writers rage with inward envy. This is one of them. Colin Barrett

The wait is over. Donal Ryan at his heart-breaking, heart-lifting best. The truest novel I've ever read, brimming with life.

Anything else you buy today will mean nothing to you within five years. But if you buy this book, it will change you forever. Donal Ryan's 'Heart be at Peace'. Out now.

In other news, this is how Leo Fitz is getting on.

Among us walk low-key superheroes who listen and then send very specific gifts that can be meant only for you. Miriam Mulcahy is one of those. Thank you so much you lovely person.

It's today! Annamakerrig! I'm in such a good mood I'm even prepared to forgive the typo in last night's fortune cookie.

This wonderful heartbreaker is coming in February and the world's going to fall in love with a whole new cast of Fíona Scarlett characters. #excited_for_ya Faber Books

More than half way through my sublime stay at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre and happy to report that this has already come to pass.

I've just come across this review by Naoisé O'Reilly . Every writer needs a reader as perceptive and reflective and kind. Thank you. youtube.com/watch?v=uKdW7-…

Everyone! This.....

Last night's party for Jo Unwin was one of the loveliest events I can remember ever being at. We celebrated her stellar career, shed a few tears because she's going to stop being an agent, but rejoiced that she's never going to stop being awesome.

Dear everyone, this novel by Rose Ruane is absolutely extraordinary. She's a word wizard. Every sentence full of euphony and perceptive wisdom.
