Publishing in a pandemic is no fun. I underestimated how sad it would feel not to have a book launch or to be able to chat about the book with people at talks or festivals, in museums or just over a coffee or a glass (or two) of wine.

It’s been a busy week of telling tales from The Darkness Echoing to anyone who cares to listen or read them.

Ryan Tubridy thinks ‘The Darkness Echoing’ Ryan is ‘dark, mischievous….enlightening and educating’ and it is his ‘History Book of the Year’.
