Tune in to my conversation with Alan Patterson about my spy/detective novel The Red Branch on his 'Meet the Thriller Author' podcast. As a San Franciscan himself he said it was like travelling back in a time machine. get.thrillingreads.com/mtta-230-myl...

The new episode of Transatlantic is live! We chat with Terry Golway about the long history of Tammany Hall. Why was it so tied to Irish America, and why does popular memory link them so heavily to corruption? We also explore the overlooked good the organisation did: shows.acast.com/transatlanti...

When does the FAI get to nominate contenders for the 2026 FIFA Peace Prize I wonder? Surely Ronaldo must be a leading candidate? For your consideration FAI.

Just finished @mcculld.bsky.social ‘s From Crown to Harp. Definitely, in my opinion, the Irish history book of the year.

@mylesdungan.bsky.social—I'm looking to buy your novel THE RED BRANCH from a brick-&-mortar store here in #SanFrancisco after hearing of it on a podcast (I'm a crime novelist, Boston Irish, heart in San Francisco). Go-to source @greenapplebooks.bsky.social doesn't have it. Do you know who might?

We were very lucky to have him during the Decade of Centenaries. He has a nuanced and intelligent vision of the past and a deep understanding of the impact of violence and division on a nation. Real humanity. He'll be missed. Looking forward to a new chapter with Catherine Connolly. Another CC! 💚

This is great fun - a smart, twisty historical thriller from @mylesdungan.bsky.social

The new Myles Dungan historical novel was a delight! Witty, edgy, smart, it follows the travails of an Irish-born detective in San Francisco in the 1880s....highly recommended. @mylesdungan.bsky.social @irishlittimes.bsky.social @irishlitsoc.bsky.social @publisherswkly.bsky.social

San Francisco readers, I’ll be at Bookshop West Portal this Monday 14 October at 7 pm, reading from The Red Branch and signing copies. A pleasure to bring the story home to the city where it’s set, full of intrigue, Fenian plots, and the occasional dubious character. https://loom.ly/deQEakE

The new episode of Transatlantic: An Irish American History Podcast is live!

Storm Amy made it blustery, but Kells still turned out in style. Great company, lively chat, and kind words for The Red Branch, describing it as a story that lingers. I’ll happily take that.

A night to remember at @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social Thank you to all who came along. The Red Branch is finally out in the world.

The Embarcadero in the 1880s was San Francisco’s lifeline: ships, cargo, immigrants, and no shortage of thieves, sailors & gamblers. A short walk from the Barbary Coast, it was the city’s front door to the world.

What was North Beach like in the 1880s? Think saloons, boarding houses, and the clash of immigrant culturesm Italian, Irish, Chinese, all packed against the bay. A different skyline to today.
