It was brilliant to be in Dromore.
A little round-up of #IrishBookWeek and news that I've extended the 20% off until midnight tonight (26th). Use IRISH20 for a bargain on both Irish fiction and non-fiction! https://t.co/NjlU5mQz08

Sitting in my Belfast hotel room reading one of the great Belfast novels. Wendy Erskine’s ability to immerse you in a character - to conjure a person into being in all their strangeness and vivid quiddity, across eight or nine pages - is kind of preternatural. Unfeasibly good…

A thrill to see @WednesdayErskin venture into long-form work with her compelling debut novel, The Benefactors. Dazzlingly structured, written with honesty, humanity, quietly angry compassion & a flair for the intimate and the dramatic. Perfect material ripe for TV. @SceptreBooks

This is such a powerful, beautifully written book. Hope you have a great day, Claire.
It’s finally publication day for Show Me Where It Hurts, and I couldn’t be happier to have it out in the world. Thank you to @juliasreading, @ansa_khan, @ElaineEgan_ , @louisecc and their teams, who have all worked so hard to bring this book to the shelves. I hope you enjoy it ❤️

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 ❤️

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
