Not just any red branch… the one worth reading. Today’s the day, my debut novel The Red Branch hits the shelves.
Looks as if someone likes The Red Branch. Thanks to Anne and the Chronicle.

![In an earlier email, Department of Enterprise officials said they opposed reforms that would create uncertainty for businesses.
The November 28th, 2024, email said the fact Ireland is responsible for enforcing EU digital and data rules for
multinational companies with European headquarters in the country is "greatly valued" by tech firms "due to the regulatory certainty it provides".
[ Irish people among international scammers' most sought-after targets ]
The enterprise official said that is an important part of the value Ireland offers when attracting foreign direct investment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:idd5adskstkxy3fzsmer6dtn/bafkreiekemvu5zi2aznvioteesl22owf72regfais323egfnxpgvxvhuu4@jpeg)

We were very lucky to have him during the Decade of Centenaries. He has a nuanced and intelligent vision of the past and a deep understanding of the impact of violence and division on a nation. Real humanity.
He'll be missed.
Looking forward to a new chapter with Catherine Connolly. Another CC!

San Francisco readers, I’ll be at Bookshop West Portal this Monday 14 October at 7 pm, reading from The Red Branch and signing copies.
A pleasure to bring the story home to the city where it’s set, full of intrigue, Fenian plots, and the occasional dubious character.
