Skin, Paper, Stone was launched one year ago today so I’m wishing myself a Happy Bookiversary. (Is that even a thing? Who cares! I’m doing it anyway.)

It’s been a fun year. I enjoyed doing novel readings in Belfast, Galway and Dublin and meeting fellow writers and readers. There was even a bit of excitement in January when the book was shortlisted for an award.

On the writing front, I published an article or two about the creative process. One of my older short stories was also included in an anthology and I got to take part in a lovely event as a result of that.

To everyone who has read the book, written a review, invited me to read, or attended one of the events over the past year — a massive THANK YOU. Now I’ll get back to writing novel two so we can do it all again.
