What a fantastic night at Red Books Underground in Electric Avenue #Wexford Thanks to everyone who came along for my talk (and for the chats afterwards), prior to hearing the wonderful contributors to Open Mic Night. A special thanks to wonderful author Tina Callaghan for interviewing me.

Really looking forward to speaking at Electric Avenue run by the fantabulous Red Books, with author @tinacallaghan.bsky.social this Friday. Hope to see you there for a talk about the themes of my debut novel, my writing process and a whole lot more.

Thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss 'A Billion Sharp Pieces' on The Book Show on Spain's largest English speaking station, Talk Radio Europe. Discussed character develpment, my writing process, research, journalism, plotting and connection: www.talkradioeurope.com/clients/dloo... Ybernia
