Here is my blog post about my recent stay at the wonderful Cove Park

Cove Park home office for a week Okay, one thing is evident from this blog, which was last updated in August 2022 – I’m not a natural blogger. When I’m deep in a project I like to work on that pr…

My French publisher, Des Nouvelles d’ailleurs have gained a Ministry of Culture accreditation which means they can offer me more online interviews with French schools and expand their markets. I love the way my wee short bi-lingual novel, Hector the Hero, has a life of its own over the channel.

It is 10 years since my debut novel The Incomers was first published. Time for a facelift! The Incomers is now published by my own imprint, Trilleachan Press. Although I still love the original cover, it is time to update it to link in with my other Trilleachan Publication, Before Now. I hope you like it.
