Nearly there with the next publication, Gaels. Publishers, Tantallon Tir are very excited also - 'We’re getting into the final proofreading stage for our next release, Gaels. You can tell when a manuscript is exceptional when you’ve read it countless times and still enjoy reading it.' #Booksky

Managed to get this one finished before December was out. Another insightful and at times disturbing read by the fantastic Martin Dillion. There were no winners, just victims. It's well worth picking up. #writerscommunity #WritingCommunity

Just completed this mesmerising novel by @newlands.bsky.social Each chapter draws you in with a descriptive narrative that flows with each page turn. Sometimes on reading other author work my imposter syndrome kicks in,this book also inspires me to do better. A fantastic piece of writing.

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.
