The book is out
I haven’t seen it myself but various reports have suggested it’s well and truly in the shops now. So feel free to go forth and purchase your copy. I have to say it’s one of the top two books I’ve ever written in my life. What’s it about? Well, after the Folkapalooza thing from the [...]
Stop the presses
Shock news reaching me hear at Major HQ is that the Sunday Times is going to do a review of ‘Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder’ tomorrow. Given their previous with me it might be fun to play a game. Pick 3 words which you think will appear in the review. Whoever gets the most [...]
Book 2 – The cover
Bar anything truly radical happening this looks set to be the final cover for Book 2 – Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. Publication date is around the same as the first one, so towards the end of Feb or early March.
Gaps and book sales

The final cover
To distract you from the terrible post below here’s the signed off, final cover of the book which should be in the shops in about two or three weeks time. Click for big. Extract to follow in the next week or so. Cheers to Sean for the funky image plug-in and tips.

Then it goes through the various production stages and it should be in the shops towards the end [...]
John Gormley – what a politician
Not content with making lightbulbs safer and more environmentally friendly he’s now going to make the disposal of batteries greener too. There’s simply no question the Greens are making the most of being in government and really addressing the serious issues that affect Irish people today.
The cover
Coming soon…well, not that soon. Sometime after Crimbo but still.
