Honestly cannot tell you how rewarding this feels. No. 1 in literary fiction! I worked so hard on this story, two years of research (which actually didn't feel like work at all really cos, books!) And belief - the most important ingredient they never tell you about.

BREAKING NEWS:
Scientists have discovered a massive detached coral reef off the coast of Australia.
It's more than 500m in height — taller than Empire State building or the Malaysia's Petronas Towers.
It's the first time in 120 years anyone has made such a discovery.

I know it's a bit boring when authors share 'glowing' reviews of their books, but seriously, this one has stopped me in my tracks tody. Nothing can validate your work like a satisfied reader, and make you glad you kept writing. This is what it's all about 😀

This!!! It's pretty clear local councils have failed/are failing to implement any of the necessary infrastructure to make commuting safer for all road users. The 11th hour U-turn by Galway councillors on the Salthill cycle path is a case in point

@NeilHealyFox
@GalwayCycling
@GalwayEnvNet
They should have set up a national office to spend that money, there is no consistency across the country in how the infrastructure is developed and in some cases the money is simply being used to resurface footpaths unnecessarily

What is it with Ireland and 'viewing platforms'?! Like, we want to be 'in' nature, not looking at it from 18million euro worth of concrete. Same in Galway with our concrete tidal pool that for some reason cannot be reopened. GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT dammit god I give up

Book bloggers are an integral part of the book industry and they don't get the credit they deserve (yet never ask for). As an indie author, I honestly don't know how I would go about promoting/creating buzz/getting reviews without these enthusiastic, dedicated people 👏👏👏
Having some conversations recently about the Feels behind book reviewing and blogging.
The toll it takes. The work that goes into it. What we get in return. Whether it's all worth it.
And so, a thread:
