On the long road to publication, this was the moment I was waiting for most eagerly. I was half-expecting them, as I’d seen on twitter that Jessie Greengrass’ beautiful Auk had arrived, and we’re on the same schedule.

It was all I could do not to blurt to the delivery man that it was my BOOK, and wasn’t he excited. Instead, I made my 17yo stand by, under orders to be excited. He humoured me…
I don’t have a shelf as classy as Jessie’s, but we’ll find somewhere.


It looks so cool, well done! Whens the publication date?
Cheers, Niamh. Puclication day is 30th of July, with a launch following swiftly on its heels, all going well. Hope you’ll come. I’ll send you an invite when all details are in place – it’d be lovely to see you. Hope all is well with you. Must pop over to your site now and see what you’ve been up to!
Looking forward to it Paula 😊 cant wait to read your novel, so many good books out this last year, and so many of them women, its a great thing
Thanks Niamh. I know – it’s unprecedented! I’m trying to keep up. Hopefully see you at the launch – invites are being created as we speak (5th Aug) x
