Really enjoyed my visit to @rtetoday, where I chatted with Maura and Dáithí about the #TheLiarsGirl being up for Best Novel at the @mysterywritersofamerica’s Edgar Awards, my new deal with @blackstonepublishing and why, after researching #DistressSignals, you’ll never get me on a cruise! If you missed it, you can catch up on the RTÉ Player now. This was the last thing in a crazy, exciting, busy, happy week but now I think I’m going to retreat into a dark, quiet room for a couple of days because we probably both need a break! 😂 Thanks again for all the lovely messages this week. Have a great weekend! #book #books #bookstagram #writer #writing #writersoninstagram #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #theliarsgirl #distresssignals #edgars2019 #crimefiction #thriller #mystery #rtetoday #rtetodayshow #cork #author #irishnews #irishwriting @atlanticbooks @blackstonepublishing @davidhighambooks
A big THANK YOU for all your lovely messages over the past few days. There was much love for the blog post (link still in bio) which I wasn’t even going to write but I’m so glad I did, because I think it’s important to show the long, twisty road to success. With book deals we often hear about people who decided to write a book, wrote a book and then BOOM! Six figures, a movie deal and an announcement in The Bookseller. But those aren’t the norm. (And, I bet, behind the scenes, those headlines come with long and twisty roads too.) So keep going. Ignore the Negative Nellies. And hang on! #book #books #writersofinstagram #writing #writer #writingcommunity #writingadvice #blog #writingtips #amwriting #stationery #stationeryaddict #notebook #journal #dream #dreamer #motivation #dreamdaredo
Testing, testing, 1-2-3... Ah, okay: IG is back! And more importantly, my page proofs are here!

Flew to London yesterday for my UK publisher’s annual party. This was the, ahem, *after* party, featuring the last Corvettes standing (that’s what we’ve decided Corvus authors are called): CS Quinn, @jacquiannc_ and JG Murray, plus Sara and Kirsty from @atlanticbooks. (And Poppy, who took the photo!) Heading back to the airport now after some serious stationery shopping - see more in Stories. #london #writer #writers #writersoninstagram #writersofinstagram #corvusbooks #corvettes #party #stationeryaddict
