Good morning

And let there be light.

Beautiful start to the day.

Time for a brew.

An unexpected treat! Was Gutter Bookshop earlier and spotted copies of Ghost Mountain in the wild! And lovely Marta Starosta was able to give me my pre-ordered copy🧡 It's really beautiful and Tom Climent's painting on the front and Donal Ryan's quote on the back are so perfect.

I was lucky to get a proof copy of Ghost Mountain from Bluemoose Books and hand on heart, it is extraordinary. Rónán is such a gifted and unique writer. As soon as I get my finished copy I will re-read it.

Hey! Look what just arrived!

Thank you to Bluemoose Books for these finished copies of Ghost Mountain and for all the brilliant support.

I loved writing Ghost Mountain. I felt like I could write it forever.

And yes, I did put in a tie specially for this pic

Don't miss out!!!
WowWowWow

Upton Sinclair nails it.
