Loved this board outside elkbooks_warrenpoint. So true! Stopped in to chat with Helene and have a look around her gorgeous shop. She has a great selection on offer, for all ages. A great way to pass a few hours. #bookstore #indiebookstore #ShopLocal #Warrenpoint #Ireland #booksky

12 years ago, I started chemo for #breastcancer. I remember being so frightened, but determined it wouldn't beat me. I was right! I now have 3 gorgeous grandchildren who light up my life, & a 2-book deal from a major publisher! Life is good. #lifeaftercancer #youcandoit

Thanks to the readers who sent me these photos of The Wedding on its holidays.😘 First up, #Dubrovnik, where it was spotted on the famous steps from #GameofThrones, then a long walk, followed by a gentle read. #holidayreading #mystery #thriller #booksky#holidayreading #mystery #thriller

What a great write-up for ‘The Wedding’ in the newspaper today. @Newryreporter #booksky #murder #mystery #thriller
'The Wedding' found out in the wild! :-) @Waterstones @Newry. Probably the only time I’ll sit next to one of my all-time fav writers - @michaelconnellybooks.

Lá Fhéile Phádraig sona duit Happy Saint Patrick's day to all who celebrate it.
Delighted to have a (very) short story published in the March edition of The Simple Things magazine.
Happy #internationalWomensDay2026 to the ladies out there! To my mother, and her mother, and her mother’s mother. . . To all the women who have gone before us, and will come after us. To those who have fought and led the way with strength and dignity. Today is for — and about — you. And us.
Just over a week since 'The Wedding' was published, and I wanted to send out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has bought and/or mentioned 'The Wedding' in their social media posts. Your support means the world to me. I really hope you enjoy the book. #reading #writing #bookreview
