GALWAY ADVERTISER REVIEW OF MISS EMILY

Des Kenny, of Kennys Bookshop, reviews Miss Emily in the Galway Advertiser today. I will be on the Keith Finnegan Show on Galway Bay FM with Des tomorrow (10.30am-ish) to discuss the book.

LAUNCH VIDEO

I was in the lovely Kenny's Book Shop in Galway this morning to sign copies of Mother America. Dean Kelly also made a video of me reading the title story 'Mother America'. It will be live on the Kenny's YouTube Channel soon.

Meantime here's a video of middling quality of the launch of the book last Thursday in The Winding Stair book shop. Eoin Purcell speechifys, I read, and the front door creaks.

SCOTLAND & NUDES & A WRITING RETREAT

I'm back from my research trip to Scotland and it was a blast. Final research is now done for my novel and I just have to finish it. Woo! I'm off to Annaghmakerrig (The Tyrone Guthrie Centre) for a week to do just that. I am itching to go but first I will be launching Kennys 'NUDE - BLATANT EXHIBITIONISM', a wonderful new art exhibition as part of Galway Arts Festival, tomorrow Saturday 9th July at 2pm in Kennys, Liosbán, Tuam Road, Galway. All welcome!
