I've gotten four creepy marketing scam emails about my book in a day and all I can think of is how my words have been diluted by the weirdos who put them into ai to do make these scams. It feels gross to have the way I think and write stolen and regurgitated via word salad at me

A little late posting but there's a new @booksireland.bsky.social article up: my interview with @thatstephendaly.bsky.social We chatted about his debut novel The Last Death Poet (@rocktheboatnews.bsky.social), all things Belfast, and the importance of humour in Irish YA

Hello! I'm SO excited to say I'll be teaching a course on writing poetry and verse for child and teenage readers with @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social next month!

After my shift in Dublin I commuted home. What would be a 25 min car journey took 1 hour and 40 mins on the bus. 4 times as long. Genuinely asking, how is this our normal? The Irish public transport system is such a complete and utter failure. I can't cope with it anymore.

"Shorelines spins the reader’s senses like a whirlpool. It is luminescent, proud, beautiful and heartrendingly poignant." What a gorgeous review of Shorelines, tysm Tanja! 🌊🌊
