@OisinMcGann Remember that the prefix 'mis-' means wrongly, so it has to be 'mis- (wrongly) -spell'. Otherwise it would be 'mi -spell', which is a very protective witch.

As for surprise with the two 'r'...
What?
No ones else gets that one wrong?!

Always lovely to have the company of other Irish authors next door to you on the bookshelf as you wait for someone to bring you away on another imaginative journey. @happy_scribbler @BookwormThurles

Thanks to Katherine for spotting #WiderThanthe Sea in the wonderful @BookwormThurles (what a fantastic name for a bookshop😊) and my son (Fionn!) was delighted to see who it was neighbours with @ronanmoore 😂😂😂

Good use of parenthesis @BooksForOurKids, otherwise I'd have thought @PigletWineBar had a good children's section & not the outstranding @gutterbookshop:)!
Really glad you enjoyed #YoungFionn. Thanks for the kind words & hope you enjoy reading aloud #FionnAndTheFianna @Gill_Books

[BooksForOurChildren @BooksForOurKids]

What's your tip for writing a great short story?
@NewsMagMedia @Gill_Books @GillEducation

[Ronan Moore @ronanmoore]

Thanks Órna & @seomraranga for the review. Delighted that you really enjoyed the book!

[Ronan Moore @ronanmoore]

@SuzanneKeatinge Delighted that Órna enjoyed the book. I'll take 'quite secretive' & 'daring' any day of the week! Great feedback & glad that she appreciated the strong characters both male & female:). Thanks @seomraranga @Gill_Books

[Suzanne Keatinge @SuzanneKeatinge]

Enjoyed my daughter's book review by @ronanmoore @Gill_Books - 'he focused a little on the sexism that used to be everywhere in Ireland and all other countries...'

Thanks @CorkEchoLive for the write-up of Fionn and the Fianna, as a top tip for summer reads for kids. @Gill_Books

If Fionn MacCumhaill did trick Benandonner in the mysterious & beautiful Donegal caves of Maghera, the question becomes, which one? @TheDonegalTimes @wildatlanticway @Gill_Books @DonegalLibrary #FionnAndTheFianna

[Ronan Moore @ronanmoore]

Tips for budding young writers? How to expand your vocabulary? The importance of dialogue? Just some of the really interesting questions from some exceptional young readers & writers at yesterday's Maynooth library talk. @kildarelibrary
Always fun & interesting.

Nice to get back (virtually) into schools to talk all things Fionn as part of their literacy week. This morning it was the wonderful CBS Ennis in the Banner county of #Clare. @Gill_Books @ebcf

Reading has the power to change lives, but in 2008 the school library budget was cut entirely.

Children's Books Ireland is calling for the reinstatement of the school library grant, so that every child has the chance to discover and develop a love of reading.

For the day that was in it, 6 of my favourite African related books and 1 that is close to the top of my to-read-list. #HappyAfricaDay #HappyAfricaDay2021 #reading #literature #music #football

[Ronan Moore @ronanmoore]

While #Rathcroghan #Roscommon - entry to the Otherworld, might not get the attention of Newgrange or Tara, it played some role in Ancient Irish history, as well as in #FionnAndTheFianna where the deathly spirit, the Dealra Dubh awaits.

[IrishCentral @IrishCentral]

Most tourists, both Irish and international, will be unfamiliar with Rathcroghan in County Roscommon, but it used to be the ancient royal capital of Connacht. #Ireland #IrishHistory #Roscommon #Rathcroghan https://t.co/RT2GxoG1JZ
