An Post Irish Book Awards done and (sparkle) dusted for another year – what a night! Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all the readers who give us a reason to get to this amazing party once a year and to stay hunched over our laptops avoiding housework for the rest of the year 😀

THE CHRISTMAS JIGSAW MURDERS and MURDER ON THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS are 99p on Kindle UK from 25th November to 6th January. Billy bargains both, I assure you

This is maddening if you use MS word to write books. Opt out to stop them using your writing to train A.I. Please share.

I spent five hours yesterday laboriously writing a really woeful chapter that I'll probably delete. I spent two hours this morning dashing out two chapters I quite like. The moral of the story could be something about trying and failing and trying again, but I think it's actually 'take Mondays off'

My ghost writer

Beautifully written and rich in historic detail, A Maid on Fifth Avenue is utterly captivating. Sinéad Crowley at the top of her game. Loved it @sineadcrowley.bsky.social !

Started this tonight, page 80 already, loving it @sineadcrowley.bsky.social ! A Maid on Fifth Avenue, coming January 2024 from Aria Fiction.

She's hoping to reclaim her Employee of the Month crown. I'm not sure..

Just finished An Invitationto the Kennedys by Emily Hourican, who is not here (yet) and won't know I'm saying this, but for everyone else: she is truly one of Ireland's greatest writers, whether writing historical or contemporary novels, and an all round lovely person. And this book is perfect.

So nice to be here and thanks @omgitsagirl2015.bsky.social for getting me in, now to find people! Feels like going back in time to 2009 on 🐦
