I’m thrilled to announce that my debut short story collection The Beautiful Rooms will be published by The Lonely Press in Spring 2017.
My thanks to editor, John Lavin, and his partner, Michou Burckett St Laurent, for their support and enthusiasm. They shared this voice recording of one of my stories ‘Made You Look’ on social media the other day and we were all delighted with the response. Thanks to everybody who liked and shared!
The image below accompanied an essay I recently wrote about ‘Made You Look’. It’s the artist J. K. Matthews’ representation of ‘Gemma’ the teenage protagonist of the story.

That’s brilliant! Looking forward to reading that. The first of many. And with such a cool publisher too! They let me kill Enda Kenny last year in their Winter issue. My kind of people. 🙂
