Looking forward to reading from A Dying Language at The Reading Room, Carrick on Shannon on Friday, October 21 6:15 p.m. Brian Leyden will introduce the event, and all are welcome to attend.

There’s plenty of time to come to the reading, and then go to the Leonard Cohen Tribute at The Dock – that’s what I plan to do!

Brian and I will also participate in a panel discussion hosted by Words Ireland, alongside Michael Harding and Gerry Boland, on Saturday, October 22. The event will take place in Ballinamore Library from 2 to 4 p.m. This event, the first in a series of nationwide public meetings, is aimed at writers who earn or aspire to earn some or all of their income from writing. The event is free, but participants must register in advance through www.eventbrite.ie – only a few places left.
