Today I'm talking to @niamhsquared.bsky.social about her contemporary novel Ordinary Saints, why she deleted her first 20k words and how entering a competition to give herself a deadline changed her life @manillapress.bsky.social 🎧 bit.ly/COADNniamh

In 2020, I read a news story about this boy - Carlo Acutis - being beatified. It fascinated me so much that I wrote a novel about the strange and disturbing world of conteporary saintmaking. Yesterday, the Vatican announced that Carlo will be beatified THE SAME week my book comes out. Like, what??
