A year ago yesterday I posted this video to Facebook. On the evening of September 10, 2018, I typed “The End” on the very first draft of #RewindBook (and then, because it’s a bit difficult to see here, I celebrated by sticking a straw in a bottle of Pinot Grigio!) On September 10, 2019, I found out that it’s enjoying a second week in the Irish bestseller charts, hanging out at no. 4. Yay! (P.S. Those of you who’ve read the book will recognize that the actual ending was not yet the end back then!) #writing #amwriting #firstdraft #celebrate #wineoclock #writersofinstagram #writersoninstagram #bestseller #book #books #bookstagram
The IP3 can’t wait for Saturday when our final Inspiration Project event of 2019 kicks off at the DLR LexIcon in Dun Laoghaire. At each event, one lucky graduate goes home with a goody bag of dreams and we think THIS one might be the best yet! There’s a @shopbando planner, @outofprint (pink!) typewriter socks and library pins, a selection of our books and one of our exclusive “Feck Off! I’m Writing!” door signs, all packed up in an adorable @blackstonepublishing tote bag that outdoes all other tote bags when it comes to carrying books. (Trust me on this. You can stack hardbacks in it, lying flat. It’s the business.) Plus there’ll be even more in here by Saturday... Don’t miss out.

Our final Inspiration Project event in 2019 takes place this Saturday September 14th at the stunning DLR LexIcon library in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. A ticket gets you 3 x internationally bestselling full-time writers (1 x crime, 1 x up-lit, 1 x historical fiction) each delivering an intensive seminar (on plotting, writing and editing your own work) as well as sea views, cute stationery (guess whose job that is?) and a massive dose of inspiration. And new for this event: notions! With the month the three of us have had - two Irish bestsellers AND a HWA Gold Crown Award nomination, whaaa...?! - we think we’re allowed a few. And we want YOU to have them TOO! Find out more or book your place now at www.TheInspirationProject.ie. The three of us met at events just like this one back when we were just dreaming of seeing our books on shelves... Come along Saturday and maybe one day soon, you’ll be able to look back on it and say, yes, that was it. That was the start. #notions11 #notions #inspireme19 #inspiration #writingadvice #writingworkshop #amwriting #writer #irishwriter #irishwriting #writersoninstagram #writersofinstagram #dunlaoghaire #dlrlexicon #dlrlexiconlibrary #goals #dreamdaredo @happymrsh @hazelgaynor
I didn’t dream it: #RewindBook is officially an Irish bestseller! And there’s an amazing review of it printed right alongside in the print edition of the Irish Times: “Rewind is a top-class thriller, fast-paced and vividly rendered. Deftly braiding a number of contemporary themes, and deliciously satirical in its depiction of modern Ireland’s excesses, [it] confirms its author as one of Irish crime writing’s leading lights.” So it’s mimosas for breakfast - which, bonus, go perfectly with the cover design! Thanks to everyone who has supported this book. If you haven’t read it yet and you live in the UK or Ireland, you can snag the ebook edition for just 99p for a limited time. #book #books #bookstagram #celebrate #celebration #goals #writinggoals #reading #amreading #newbook #bestseller #ireland #cork #irishfiction #irishwriter #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #writersoninstagram #cocktail #mimosa #bookreview #bookreviews #thriller #mystery #crimefiction
