Brilliant day yesterday touring round nine Dublin bookshops promoting four amazing books from NI YA authors. If you’re looking for something for teen readers this summer you are spoilt for choice.
Thanks @ArtsCouncilNI for SIAP funding. @ACNIWriting makes this possible!

I’ll take that review any day @Suejleonard Thanks!
‘I loved this book so much; I couldn’t put it down, and would urge anyone to read it, whatever their age. Above all it’s a redemptive story of an exceptional pair of siblings.’

Any teen readers in your life? This event in Belfast is a rare opportunity to bring them to hear 4 NI YA authors with new books out this spring. Also:
It’s ‘pay what you want’!
National year of reading has sponsored free books and goody bags!

In the @IrishTimesBooks this weekend with Runaway Road. Delighted!
(And honestly, the number of times I have mistyped as Runaway Toad, maybe I should do a picture book next!)
