Look! LOOK! @afharrold.bsky.social (yes, the one who wrote The Imaginary, and The Song From Somewhere Else, and The Worlds We Leave Behind!) has read and enjoyed #TheSilverRoad! I also have it on good authority that he enjoyed #SwordOfTheSun a while back. *excited bouncing*

Packed bookshop shelves with colourful children's books on display. The middle shelf features, from left to right: AF Steadman's Skandar and the Skeleton Curse, Sinéad O'Hart's Sword of the Sun, Eve McDonnell's The Last Boy, and Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl.

It's wonderful to see my books on bookshop shelves, surrounded by pals. #SwordOfTheSun looks great tucked up between @evemcdonnell.bsky.social and @afsteadman.bsky.social, with fellow Wexfordian #EoinColfer right beside us. Thanks to @bookstation.bsky.social Gorey, and Eve for the photo!

There are reports of a rare conjunction of children’s books by #Wexford authors now visible in @bookstation.bsky.social Gorey 💫✨ Anything could happen 🤩😜
#TheLastBoy meets #SwordofTheSun meets #ArtemisFowl

A table made from patterned tiles, on which a plate with a chocolate cookie (minus one bite!), a cup of tea, and a copy of Sword of the Sun are photogenically arranged. Bon appetit!

Celebrating the official publication of #SwordOfTheSun today with tea and a cookie! I hope you'll pick up a copy wherever you buy your books, and that you'll enjoy coming on Ben, Ji-Ah and Fin's amazing adventure. Fly, little book!

Woman (white, fat, wearing glasses and a butterfly-patterned blouse, sitting behind a small table. On the table are some books, piled up, a glass of water, and some pens. She is sitting on a cushioned window-seat, looking to her right and smiling, as she opens a book to sign it. She's holding a blue Sharpie pen. The woman is me!

We had a marvellous launch for #SwordOfTheSun at the weekend, in the gorgeous surrounds of @halfwayupbooks.bsky.social - thanks to all the crew for making me so welcome! Signed copies available via @halfwayupbooks.bsky.social, regular copies wherever you get your books, and I hope you love it!
