The Nothing Man

This week last year was my last ‘normal’ one. Months prior, I’d agreed to vacate my apartment so that my sister and her fiancé could come to Dublin for the Ireland v Italy match and stay there. I was flying to London for the annual party my publishers have that coincides with London Book Fair, so I booked my flight out from Cork, thinking I’d go stay with my parents so my sister could come here, and then I’d go to London from there. But the match got canceled. Then the Book Fair. And then the party. And then suddenly we were all stuck at home parenting sourdough starters and ordering adult colouring books and watching Tiger King, and hand sanitizer was more valuable than actual legal tender. Now, a year on, everything has changed and nothing has changed at all. Here in Ireland, we’re in lockdown again. (Again.) Next week, I get to show you the cover of my next novel, 56 DAYS, set during that first lockdown, which this time one year ago I had absolutely no idea I’d be writing. I just hope that by the time it comes out in August, everything - or at least a lot of things - will have changed again. #lockdown #lockdownlife #lockdown2021 #lockdown3 #ireland #dublinireland #book #books #bookstagram #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #56DaysBook
Happy #IrelandReads Day! Today, February 25th, everyone in Ireland is encouraged to #SqueezeInARead.
Today I had the wonderful opportunity to teach a masterclass to the students on the MA in Creative Writing at @universitycollegecork. I would’ve loved to be able to do it in person but a Zoom was the next best thing.
Found a forgotten cache of travel photos on my iPad this morning. Excuse me while I go cry. #villefranche #villefranchesurmer #villefranchesurmer🇫🇷 #france #cotedazur #frenchriviera #frenchrivieraplaces #imisstravelling #imisstravelling✈️
