Do you have a poetry competition this year 2015? Are you still based in Inchicore? Thank you
thanks for the info Brian, great to meet you at the penguin day, I’ll get those interview questions to you soon, the days run away with each other!
Good to hear from you Niamh! The days are flying – only got around to starting The Herbalist this week. I’m really enjoying it, so well written, characters brilliantly drawn and tension mounting all the time. Beautiful read!
