Tomorrow morning my seventh book will be released into the world. The Raptures has been fifteen years in the making. It’s the book I wanted to write when I first decided that writing was what I absolutely had to do.

"Launching a Book in a Pandemic Take 2" or "Really, You're Going to Put Yourself Through This Again."

The Last Resort, my series of linked short stories set in a caravan park in Ballycastle is being published next Thursday. Yes, that is April 1st. And, yes I am trying not to read too much into that date. This will be my second attempt to launch a book during Lockdown. Postcard Stories 2 came out back in August. I don’t know anyone else who’s published two books during Lockdown, (cue everyone tweeting to point out writers who’ve published three or four), so I’m setting myself up as a kind of expert, offering straight from the hip, hard learnt wisdom and advice to the very very many people who are sending their wee books out into a locked down world.
