I'll be chatting on this panel about curating Wired Our Own Way (a book of #Autistic #Essays published by @newislandbooks.bsky.social ) this Saturday @ilfdublin.bsky.social with @jenwallacecreates.bsky.social @chandrikanm.bsky.social and @aislingwalsh.bsky.social

But my favourite Paul Durcan poem is 'On Giving a Poetry Recital to an Empty Hall' Thanks to @cormackinsella.bsky.social for bringing it to my attention a few years ago.

Some amazing new Irish children's books out in May for all ages. Thanks to @bexsheridan.bsky.social for creating the @irishkidsbooks.bsky.social posters. Please do share this post and let everyone know about these brilliant new books. Together let's help children #discoveririshkidsbooks

Very glad that I partook in preparing for media sessions with both @societyofauthors.bsky.social and @childrensbooksireland.ie in the last few months, as I got asked to do an interview today on @todayfm.bsky.social regarding my autistic anthology @newislandbooks.bsky.social. Will be on at 17:45ish😊

#Audiobook of Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of #Autistic Irish Voices released today 🎉 On Audible, Spotify and more.

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!
