(Book 5 in The Stranger Times Series) Paranormal mystery Caimh's pure wit, and his ability to create such a motley crew of lovable oddballs is very much the appeal of these books. Top-class entertainmentš

Very much looking forward to this one too! For me, Stranger Times has been the best comic SFF series of recent years. Humour, plot, character, a world that builds throughout the series.

I am doing a Q&A with the wonderful Jodi Taylor on Wednesday so any questions you'd like me to ask her? Also, I'm recording a Q&A with narrator extraordinaire Brendan McDonald this evening so any questions for either of us? Warning: we may have had a drink by then.

if you're wondering why we're sharing the cover of Ring The Bells today, well that's because it's Anti-Christmas of course! Today is the furthest point in the year from Crimbo in any direction. Its the Anti-Christmas book you didn't know you needed.

's Dublin Trilogy (a trilogy of 4 books originally, which grew into 8), but l'm absolutely loving the first book. The joys of finding a new series to get stuck into! Highly recommended if you love a good Irish dark-comedy crime yarn.

Rang the insurance company and got a robotic human voice going - What is the policy holders name? Reason for call? Policy number etc - thought, bloody hell, it's an AI bot. turns out it wasn't - just a weirdly efficient dude. Came very close to making a huge idiot of myself.
