We look so nice but we kill people for a living... Irish crime writers Patricia Gibney, Andrea Carter, Sinead Crowley, Olivia Kiernan, Liz Nugent, me, Andrea Mara, Jane Casey and Sam Blake, and missing Catherine Kirwan and Jo Spain who were at #theakstonscrime this weekend too. #writer #writing #writers #writersoninstagram #writersofinstagram #harrogate #theakstonscrime #crimefiction #crimewriters #emeraldnoir #irish #irishwriters #book #books #bookstagram #bookfestival
On my way back to Dublin after a LOVELY week teaching crime writing at @westcorkliteraryfestival. I probably could’ve done with a bit of Berocca but I really enjoyed my event with Catherine Kirwan and @deshocks, drinking G&Ts in the sun, dinner at THE chipper (as recommended by basically everyone), attending some amazing events, getting to hang out with incredible people and spending the week with my aspiring crime writers who were great fun and presented me with the loveliest gift and card today! 😭 You can still catch a couple of events this evening but failing that, mark it in your diary for next July. Huge thanks to Eimear and her team, and congrats on (another!) job well done. 👍🏻 #westcork #westcorkliteraryfestival #WCLF2019 #bantry #cork #ireland #book #books #bookstagram #reading #author #writer #amwriting #writingfestival #writingworkshop #journal #notebook #stationery #irishmade @badlymadebooks @forestandflock
In beautiful Bantry all this week for @westcorkliteraryfestival and although it’s only Monday, I’ve already been shopping. Picked up THOSE PEOPLE by Louise Candlish in the newly revamped Bantry Bookshop and yet another notebook - this spectacular @badlymadebooks one - at the lovely @forestandflock, before chatting with some of my fellow writers over coffee and delicious cake at @organicobantry. Tomorrow morning I hope my workshop attendees will have all had their Weetabix because we’ll be talking plotting and story structure, and in the afternoon I’m hoping to get to the Tana French event at Bantry House. It’d also be nice if I could, um, get some writing done...? My Book 4 Draft 1 deadline looms. 😬 #book #books #bookstagram #newbook #newbooks #bookhaul #bookshopping #writer #writing #amwriting #bookfestival #literaryfestival #westcorkliteraryfestival #westcork #cork #bantry #WCLF2019 #notebook #stationery #journal #stationeryaddict #ireland #irish #writingworkshop
