“I’m going to go to the Irish book awards this year,” I proudly told one of my closest friends @supasambo back at the start of the year. “Let’s go together, it’ll be fun.” I presumed […]
This time last year I was looking to start something new. I’d just sent off an entry to the Greenbean Novel Fair and I was in the form for writing. Or talking about writing. Or […]
It’s 4.30am. I’ve just made a cup of tea with Robert Roberts luxury tea bags. I’ve broken out the emergency chocolate supply (Carmello, mmm). And I can’t sleep. Because I’m celebrating. Things have been moving […]
What an unexpected special day. There I was, zooming along the M1, while the soft purr of my two year old snores filled the back seat. We had just been to see a brand new […]

DIN DIN DIN. My story Branding Day which was a finalist in the Ernest Hemingway Flash Fiction Prize has now been published by Fiction Southeast and is available to read in the article link below. […]

I started my blog before I became a Mammy. It was in the lead up to my wedding and I crimped and crafted over a few blog posts about things that had been on my […]
