Third place at the Red Line!

Not bad! shame I couldn't get to the festival, but happy "Jamie's Red Yo-Yo" won third prize last night.
...Also glad to have Hellsteeth on sale now in the fascinating Cruchain Ai heritage centre in Tulsk, county Roscommon...
I am leading one of the creative writing workshops tomorrow morning in Roscommon Library. They're followed by readings and an open-mic for participants, it should be a great day... fingers crossed! Tomorrow is also Frackdown day across Ireland - anti fracking demo's on in most towns, join one near you, if you're not coming writing that is...

Red Line Book Festival...Stony Thursday Book...Sabotage review...


Some good news...
Happy to be shortlisted for the Red Line poetry competition, sorry can't get to the festival- it looks really good- next week http://www.redlinebookfestival.com/ ;
also delighted to have a poem coming in the next Stony Thursday book;
and you can read a nice review by Afric McGinchy on the Sabotage website, of my chapbook Hellsteeth.. though maybe the meaning of some of my poems has been lost in translation, the review overall is very positive, so that's got to be a good thing... http://sabotagereviews.com/
