It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
If you're a fan of fantasy, horror and Celtic myth, come to Malahide Library 2m (Sat) at 2.30pm to see myself, Shauna Lawless (The Children of Gods and Fighting Men) Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) and Doctor Shauna Caffrey in conversation, with our books included for attendees!
You absolutely should, every line is S-tier.
'Jedi versus Sith. Light versus dark. Winner take all.'
'Although this is the end of the age of heroes, it's saved its best for last.'
My Luas is rocking from side to side in the wind, and its giving me vague NY subway flashbacks which I do not hate
Less than a week to submit to @ilfdublin.bsky.social's Date With An Agent event, perfect for an aspiring novelist with a manuscript in the chamber!
My own agent, the superlative Clare Wallace, will be there, along with some other absolute stars, so do check it out!

Ha! Yes, I would be suspicious on that...
I stayed on this road last time I was in London and it was VERY jarring - as someone who's writing a fantasy series using his invasion as inspiration, it was a bit like walking by the Sauron Hotel...
I'm currently watching Frerein as I paint, but I'll often go for movie soundtracks or airy kind of trance stuff so there aren't any words to distract me!
Some upcoming events this April, from panels discussing Celtic mythology to an IFI panel on how to separate art from the artist and processing your creative heroes letting you down...
*jots down the the title Don Krootiote, draws a windmill with skulls on it*
ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END, I say to myself, weeping into a keyboard as I accidentally put a bolter into the next Conn book
I'm always a hair trigger away from emailing Black Library and pitching them a novel, and after seeing this guy it has become a FEROCIOUS NEED
Wrote a scene for SW 2 this week that leans heavily on intense, shrouding mist. Worried it felt unrealistic, then woke up to this.
Very much appreciated!
It looks like its putting it's arms on its hips to complain!
Thank you so much for featuring Nell! :)
March is full of brilliant new Irish books for young readers of all ages, from toddlers to teens. Check them out! Together let’s help children and teens #DiscoverIrishKidsBooks and see themselves on the pages of the books they read.
Please do share these new titles posters widely.
Irish Independent: Man stole three coffee machines in a week from Monaghan department store.
How does he sleep at night?
Interested in writing short stories? I'm teaming up with DLR Libraries to deliver a workshop on the 14th of March all about sharp fiction in a small space.
Come along/spread the word!

Honestly I kind of love the movies for that - I think I'd fight Big Reacher before Lil Reacher, b/c Tom Cruise's intensity is like if you shrank down and pressurised a very large man.
Post Danae Hudlow @danae hudlow Follow 6 I need men to understand: at some point in every conservative gal's life, she will have the experience of sitting and listening to the men around her --men who are her friends -- discuss, in a detached way, whether or not her kind of people (women) should have the right to vote. 9:45 PM Feb 18, 2026494.8K Views
Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick
An excellent choice of bookshop and I'm hoping you find it an excellent choice of book - thank you so much for reading!
The postie was good to me again today - not one but three parcels, two of them from the good folk at @kennysbookshop.bsky.social - so that I now have @daveruddenwrites.bsky.social’s “Sister Wake” to read just as soon as I’m done with Sally Smith’s “A Case of Life and Limb.” #BookSky
Authors who teach online courses - I'd love to pick your brains!
I do all mine through organisations, and I'm tempted to start something that's a bit more regulated and routine so I always know which days of the week are teaching days, if that makes sense.
Sound off in the replies!
Thank you so much! (it may take until my next birthday to recover from all the nice food and celebrating)
BIRTHDAY CHEEKINESS DEPLETED
It's my birthday weekend!
Which has empowered me to be extremely cheeky now and say that if you enjoyed SISTER WAKE and feel like giving me a lil birthday present, getting to 50 reviews on Amazon is incredibly important for a book's reach and every one helps - even a rating and a couple of words!
I love how fundamentally traumatised every character on DS9 is, and the journey they go on to manage it.
Garak leans into his role as mistrusted foreigner, Kira oscillates between freedom fighter and politician, Odo was poked and prodded his whole life and what does he become? A literal brownshirt.
The Darkisle returns on March 5th!
Come and raise a glass to curses, otter kings, and scrappy kids from Trim who have to save the world...
Our launch will be in the gorgeous @booksupstairs.bsky.social and it would be lovely to see you there - please spread the word to Darkisle fans of all ages!
