Third and final book event @wcorklitfest.bsky.social with @kmoranwrites.bsky.social Once again a similar message of filing that representation gap. Books set in Ireland with Irish mythology I've walked away with two children discussing what they would do if a portal opened - so definite impact

“a compelling book that will resonate with pre-teen boys who are navigating complicated friendships, all in the neat package of a scary and magical adventure” @kmoranwrites.bsky.social’s ‘The Doomsday Club’ got a fantastic recommendation in @booksireland.bsky.social today!

📚 COMING SOON 📚 I was so lucky to get to work with the wonderful Tom McCaughren on Run Home Little Fox, coming October from @theobrienpress.bsky.social 🌟 The artwork by @shannonbergin.bsky.social is beyond gorgeous - I cannot wait to see it in print!

“part of the appeal of The Doomsday Club is that, monsters and mythical mayhem aside, the interactions between the four main characters feel genuine” Find more on the inspiration behind @kmoranwrites.bsky.social’s debut: obrien.ie/blog/creatin...
