Toxic Love and its sequel Death Watch are now on the shelves of Portlaoise library thanks to the support of the local librarian, Tommy Scott. Catalogued among the paperbacks, I hope people take the opportunity to read them for free.

Death Watch,  the sequel to Toxic Love, is finally out as both a paperback and kindle book. The paperback is printed on demand. This facility appeals to me, oddly enough, giving the book a green credential I had never considered. If you're interested in the book you can check it out on amazon.ie or other amazon platforms.
