Author of The Hanging of Hettie Gale, a dark mystery with historical and ghostly elements

Published with Bloodhound Books
The audiobook of The Hanging of Hettie Gale is now available on Audible, Spotify and Apple Books. I’m a few chapters in and even though I say it myself, it’s brilliant. The way the narrators bring the characters to life is nothing short of superb 🥰

Paddy says: ‘In all conscience I can’t give The Hanging of Hettie Gale more than a 1🦴 review. There’s not a single dog in it!’

Can’t win them all!

Just finished reading The Haunting of Hern Hall by @grpidgeon.bsky.social an atmospheric, beautifully written ghost story (give it a go, it’s a great read) and this came up after the final page. I’m sure I would enjoy reading The Hanging of Hettie Gale if I hadn’t written it 😂

According to my writing group friends I’m ‘sparkly’ and a different person since I published Hettie. It’s amazing how even a little success can turn self-doubt into self-belief. I have my readers to thank for that and I shall enjoy sparkling as long as I can ☺️

Throwback to my kitchen in Ireland 5 years ago where I was writing The Hanging of Hettie Gale. If I’d known then it would one day be published and amassing 700 reviews in just 6 weeks I’d never have believed it. I could do with that wood burner now!

I am today years old when I realised you can go into a bookshop and order any book even if it’s not on the shelves. Mind blown 😂 So if you prefer to avoid the river place, pop into your local bookshop to order your books. Let’s support our independent bookshops!
