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!

More about Felicity & Granny Bridget
Felicity Dempsey has been immersed in the scientific world all her working life. On retirement a couple of years ago, she challenged herself to explore her creative side! She enrolled in a creative writing school and over the last 2 years has been developing her writing craft. Although she originally wanted to write her family memoirs, she discovered she really enjoyed writing stories for children. With the encouragement and support of the course director at MKCW and some inspiration from her grandchildren, she started to write a collection of four stories about a magical granny and her two young grandsons. She has previously had two short stories published in The Ocean magazine and is currently working on a screenplay adaptation. Granny Bridget’s Fairy Tales follows the amazing adventures of the magical Granny Bridget and her grandsons Jamie and Danny in a wonderful collection for 7-10 year old readers and all ages.
