Delighted to welcome Stephen Daly in to sign copies of 'The Last Death Poet' - a brilliant, eerie, Belfast-set YA debut that has people talking & readers excited! Signed copies are the kind of thing we fully support! @RocktheBoatNews #APIBA #IrishWriters
Neill Tully called in to sign The Visit - a debut novel set against JFK's 1963 visit to New Ross that is spare, lyrical & quietly devastating. An extraordinary first book by all accounts - can't believe I missed the proof! @eriu_books @gillhessltd #TheVisit #IrishFiction #APIBA
