's neo-noir SAINTS REST (Baraka Books) is a gripping page-turner set in the gritty streets of Saint John, where a P.I. is pulled into a murder case that reveals deep undercurrents of corruption and control. Read an excerpt here:

Great turnout last night for Luke
@lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social
Delighted. I am a tad jealous: flowers, cake & a themed mug. The Write Cup Bookstore and Cafe even had a special drink on sale, a Saint John Fog (Orange Pekoe and Salted Caramel - a twist on a London Fog). And plenty of books sold too!
