So much news! Most importantly, I'll be running two free, all-welcome writing workshops in Ardmore, that beautiful seaside town in Waterford, on April 1st (2-4pm) and 2nd (7-9pm) as part of their Gathering 2013 Festival. To book a place or for more info you can contact me through this website. No experience necessary as usual, just bring a notebook and pen! These workshops came about because of the generous support of the Arts Council and Waterford County Council. More workshops will follow with school and youth groups, retired groups, and as part of the Pattern Festival in July. In the meantime I'm writing away while the sea howls, and thinking about finding my way along the St. Declan's Way to Cashel when the weather improves!
