Both Monica Corish’s “LeafLight Moon – a novel of prehistoric Ireland” and Tom Sigafoos’s “Pool of Darkness – Raymond Chandler in Ireland” have been shortlisted for the 2025 CAP Award for Fiction. Please join us at the awards ceremony on Friday, October 10, 6 PM in Chapters Bookstore, Parnell Square, Dublin, where the books will be available for purchase.

Booker Prize winner Paul Lynch is patron of the Awards, which aim to provide a platform to showcase the cream of Irish Self-Published authors, bringing them to the attention of book shops, distributors, and the media in Ireland and abroad, with all money raised going to the charity Aware. Please share this invite with your friends and other book-lovers.
