      A Season to Remember

      This year, as well as Stand By Me, which will be out in Ireland on 27 August and 2nd September in UK (followed by Australia and Canada) I’ll also have another collection of short stories on the shelves. A Season to Remember will be out on 14th October in Ireland and 10th November in the UK. The stories are all set in a luxury hotel in Wicklow, Ireland, and although they can be read individually, they also interlink with each other.

      I hope you enjoy them!

      ebooks in Canada

      I’ve had a number of emails from Canadian readers about the availability of ebooks there. This is the current situation in Canada:

      Canadian readers can buy ebooks – the primary source would be amazon.com (there’s no Kindle store in Canada, soamazon.ca refers visitors to amazon.com for ebook purchases). E book distribuution has been agreed with Apple, so ebooks will be available to Canadian readers via the iBookstore very shortly.

      I hope you enjoye them!

      love
