I am delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of books by 2 more of  our long established students, Nastassja Pretorius and Susan O’Sullivan.

Both of these writers have always been a delight to work with and I am thrilled to congratulate them on their forthcoming publications.

Both projects are for children aged 5-7 and for all ages!

Susan is launching her picture book series: The Adventures of Terry & Susan while Nastassja presents Brave Little Hearts.

It is very rewarding to see these writers progress from one line of an idea to what in both cases will ultimately be a 10-book series.

I should also note the 2 wonderful artists who are illustrating the book, Emma Healy for Brave Little Hearts and Bronagh O’Neill for The Adventures of Terry & Susan.

You can read more about these authors and their series over at the publisher’s website here.

The books will be  launched  by award-winning author for children, Kieran Crowley,  at WAVE26, a focussed writing weekend with a range of industry talks seminars and a community of committed writers. See more about WAVE here

Brave Little Hearts & The Adventures of Terry & Susan series are published by Atlantic Papers in September.

I am looking forward to discussing The Lodger  on  Liffey Sound FM this coming Thursday 26th March 2026 at 5pm!

Hope you can all tune in!

I am delighted to announce the publication of my 7th book and 4th novel, The Lodger, this month.

The Lodger tells the story of Mac, who lives with his landlord ‘The Monk’ and several other figures  in the sparse home of Chez Vous, Coyne Road in a small west of Ireland town, just before the arrival of the internet. 

This title is now available in the shop and world wide online and the title can be ordered at any bookshops. Many thanks again for your support of literary fiction!

I am thrilled to continue my long association with my UK publisher, Penniless Press who have presented my work to the world since 2018.

Order The Lodger here

The Lodger is published by Penniless Press , UK.
