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.

Thank you Cian. I really hope you enjoy it. Though I think ‘feral’ historian might be more accurate.

Storm Amy made it blustery, but Kells still turned out in style. Great company, lively chat, and kind words for The Red Branch, describing it as a story that lingers. I’ll happily take that.
