Enjoying the wild coast of Mayo, Ireland, and reading this fine thriller set along a much darker stretch of the Atlantic. Introducing the Grimsson series from the 'Prince of Icelandic Noir' @Stefan_Mani_ ...

Iceland and Ireland. @ajpquinn, fellow crime writer and, it seems, my brother from another mother. Boomers will inherit the earth.

[Anthony J Quinn @ajpquinn]

@Stefan_Mani_ A slightly scary and hungover brother act!

[Anthony J Quinn @ajpquinn]

Thanks to top Icelandic crime writer @Stefan_Mani_ for his witty company as we wandered the cavernous, seemingly inescapable halls of the Leipzig Book Fair filled with stands of books and the overblown photographs of writers looking troubled by their surroundings...

Books by Heaney Centre students, Number 23: TURNCOAT by Anthony J. Quinn (@ajpquinn). Published by @noexitpress. "Beautifully written," said the Independent, "a novel that demonstrates how capacious the crime fiction genre can be." #SHCwriters

Thanks to the Royal Literary Fund for publishing my essay on writing about the Troubles: "As the weeks went by, I could feel my nerve going. Bravery in a writer disappears in the sleepless hours after midnight, and anyway, I was never courageous..."

Happy St. Columba's Day! Colmcille in his own words:
'Though I am affrighted, truly,
By death and by Hell;
I am more affrighted, frankly,
By the sound of an ax in Derry in the West.'

No Mow May is reaching full riot in the back garden, revealing strange hollows and waves of humble clover and the snaking path along which I tramp every morning to my writing cabin in search of corpses and clues. Also, delighted to say that Frau Ohne Ausweg is out this October!
