Rest in rock 'n roll mate. What a beautiful man, with a brilliant talent. Loved listening wide-eyed to his stories of seeing everyone who counted when he was a teenager in the late 60s. The guy saw Hendrix! And he was in The Young Ones! 1/2

book post alert! @goldsborobooks.bsky.social editions of new books from @adamsimcox.bsky.social & @sarahpinborough.bsky.social Was lucky to read an arc of Adam’s & it’s a great fresh take on time travel. Not read Sarah’s yet but she’s a master of the art in flying form so guaranteed gold!

When you need some crime, but you also need it to be pretty damn ridiculous and funny, you could do worse than @caimhmc.bsky.social ‘s THE MAN COMES AROUND. *Incredible* narration on the audiobook. The 9th book in THE DUBLIN TRILOGY is a lot of fun.

Hypothesis: if you buy two entire series of books and then read book one of each series followed by book two of each series, you will enjoy both series more. My research material arrived today. @aptshadow.bsky.social and @caimhmc.bsky.social this is research I’ll do enjoy!

Couple of years ago, before the Bad Place became insufferable, a photo of a foreword in a book was shared. It was about Z's and ducklings and Americans and it made me laugh. I tracked down the book and the author and devoured everything available. You should read these. And The Stranger Times.

Had a wonderful time talking to the fantastic @stevecavanagh.bsky.social about his latest banger One Of Us Is Guilty at Waterstones Deansgate. Be warned - It’s an absurdly good legal thriller that’ll have you missing sleep. Despite how the picture looks - no, I did not take him hostage.

If you’d shown me this pic 10 years ago & told me the book I was about to publish to zero fanfare would get a special 10th anniversary limited edition hardback with beautiful sprayed edges, new intro, signed and numbered … to be honest, I’d have been more excited about the dogs but still…

So the answer to the competition question: my book The Quiet Man has been banned by California's Dept of Corrections — putting me in the company of Stephen King and George RR Martin. Thrilled, honestly. Turns out my prison break method was a little *too* convincing.

A letter on official letterhead from the State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), California Correctional Institution dated June 8, 2026. The subject line reads "PUBLICATION WITHHELD PENDING REVIEW." Addressed to McFori Ink Publishing, the letter states that the publication titled The Quiet Man will not be delivered to incarcerated persons at CDCR Mule Creek State Prison pending review, citing a violation of California Code of Regulations Title 15, Section 3006(d), which concerns materials that present a serious threat to institution security or the safety of incarcerated persons. The letter is signed by the Mailroom – MCSP, CDCR. A photo of the book The Quiet Man by Caimh McDonnell is shown in the lower right corner — a red, black, and white cover featuring a snake, playing cards, and prison bars.

Life of an author: 10 years ago I’d have been excitedly holding a proof of my first book. Cut to this morning and I’m opening a mysterious package that turns out to be a proof of my 23rd novel. “Ah crap, thought this was something good!” I mean it is good - but I’ve already read it about 12 times.

Win a signed proof of The Man Comes Around (book 9 of The Dublin Trilogy, out 27 August available to preorder now). All you've got to do is answer this: As of this week, what do Stephen King, George RR Martin and I have in common? You have until midnight Monday 15 June to guess. Good luck!

Two dogs – one white with a black spots who is not entirely sure why his presence is required, but will do anything for a treat that didn't, one black with markings who looks like he's about to demand a full refund – both of whom are very serious literary critics pose with an advance copy of The Man Comes Around by Caimh McDonnell. Neither has read it yet but you can be sure that both have opinions.

My prediction: the UK government puts in a bid for the Olympics in the north of England, but then at the last moment changes it to taking place between Birmingham and Old Oak Common.
