Stop the presses! I’ve just discovered a new way for readers to get their hands on I’ll Be Home for Christmas. If you live outside Ireland, or are having trouble sourcing it here,  I’m going to direct you to this wonderful website, which is based in Ireland but which will deliver a copy of the book anywhere in the world for free. Now, don’t say I don’t look after you!

In other news, I’m beavering away on the next, and so far I’m happy. I’ll shortly be taking myself off to the wonderful Tyrone Guthrie Centre for a week of intensive writing, interrupted only by gargantuan home-cooked meals and brisk countryside walks to inspire me for the next 1,000 words. When I get home I expect to have made GREAT inroads, so wish me luck.

Christmas is just around the corner – can you believe it? I only have two of my SIX Christmas cakes made so far, very late this year, and not a present in the world bought. Blame the books! But I do love the festivities, hope you’re all looking forward to them too, and in the meantime, take good care of yourselves.
