R is for bunny. Y is for boat.
Still love this book after all this time and great to see all three of my children have been consistent, headstrong 2 year olds @Miffy_UK #booklovers #MondayMorning

Oh that makes perfect sense now; such a harrowing and poignant story, I’m carrying it with me, thank you greatly 🙏

Treating myself to some alone time on #NollaignamBan to crack this treasure open, @declanorourke never fails to amaze and enchant me, even his handwriting is art but what does it say? #thepawnbrokersreward

Such a wonderful story and clever illustrations, a new bedtime favourite in our house. I think a midterm trip to Dublin is on the cards @NMIreland @donnellypa @Gill_Books #wishidwrittenit #amwriting

@LouthLibraries this would be incredible up here in Dundalk and I know someone who’d be perfect!

Fantastic support as always from the team @LouthLibraries Dundalk today as I researched a local, historical event for my next book, @DundalkDemocrat @argusnews brought back fond memories of growing up in the 1980s

Isolation Blues

Testing station
Timing patience
Two lines appearing
Cancellation
Of all my plans
Now desperation
Isolation
I’ve got the blues
