Writing News and Publications

Writing News! My Fifth Book, Trespassers and Other Stories, coming in March 2025

I'm delighted to announce that my fifth book, "Trespassers and Other Stories" was published in March 2025 and launched on March 8th, International Women’s Day!

This collection of transatlantic fiction is available at the publishers and wherever good books are sold.

Unable to attend a live book event, but need your book signed by the author?

I can sign and mail you a bookplate to insert into the book.

I’m also scheduling book events and panel participations. Get in touch.

“Ireland and Me:” A Personal Essay
