James Tait Black Fiction Prize Shortlisting

Some lovely news – Though the Bodies Fall has been shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize, the UK’s oldest literary prize. Some of my favourite writers have won this, so it’s a dream to make the shortlist. Congrats, too, to my fellow shortlistees.

Irish Book Award Shortlisting

I am thrilled to have been shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year at the 2023 An Post Irish Book Awards.

‘What’s the Story?’

Tune in to What’s the Story? (Virgin Media One/Virgin Media Player) to see my first – and likely last – TV appearance. Guesting on the book show, hosted by the lovely Tara Lynne O’Neill of Derry Girls fame, I review Sebastian Faulks’ new novel, The Seventh Son, talk about my own book, as well as other literature-related topics.

TTBF an Autumn Must Read

Delighted to see Though the Bodies Fall is a pick for Sinéad & Rick’s Autumn Must Reads. Honoured in particular to see Rick O’Shea say, ‘Though the Bodies Fall is a highpoint in a decade so far of exceptional Irish debut novels.’

RTÉ Radio Interview

First ever interview on national radio (so excuse the obvious nerves at the start). Thanks to stand-in host Brendan Courtney for the warm and thought-provoking interview, as well as his very kind words about my book.
