Trespassers and Other Stories
Contemporary Irish short fiction set in rural Ireland, greater Boston and Cape Cod
See my event page for upcoming readings, singings and 20+ author interviews.
I still have a few interview dates open.
The 11 stories in “Trespassers” zig zag back and forth between coastal Massachusetts and rural Ireland—sometimes within the same story.
Regardless of setting or country, there’s a connecting theme of place and displacement, and this book brims with each character’s attempt to reconcile past and present, loss and hope and here and home.
Released on March 6, 2025, “Trespassers” is now available from the publisher’s website and other retail outlets.

Love audio books? Take a listen to me reading a short excerpt from, “The Man on the Train,” one of the 11 stories in this collection of short fiction (link below).
“Áine Greaney’s new collection of stories, Trespassers, is a powerful rendering of women in perpetual transition, straddling who they were and what they’ve become. ”
“Greaney’s characters are indeed trespassers into awkward emotional terrains—and their successes are usually triumphs of adaptation and endurance.”
