    Yesterday was #InternationalDaughterDay! A day lat Yesterday was #InternationalDaughterDay! A day late with this, but how true this audio is. The BEST company to be in, my Amelia Rose. Yes, she steals my trainers, and my lipgloss but she’s forgiven because I love her. Full of sass but also full of kindness. Perfect combo.
    September has been a blur so far! Been tricky to j September has been a blur so far! Been tricky to juggle family life demands and work. Not easy! But now it’s time to get serious about writing. Summer 2024 needs a new book, so I better get cracking. Huge mystery at the heart of this one, so I’ve had to plot hard! @tyroneguthriecentre @harpercollinsire @harperfiction @thesohoagencyuk #curlupwithcarmel #carmelharrington #amwriting #authorlife
    Back to school for the kids and back to writing fo Back to school for the kids and back to writing for me. Want to take a peek in my writing room? The commute is great - no traffic, except for the odd congestion in the hall early mornings 😜 I haven’t always had this… first five books were written wherever I could find a quiet corner to work in! I used to write with my laptop on my lap, with one leg rocking Nate to sleep in his rocker at my feet (hence my dodgy knee now 😂) Which proves that it doesn’t matter where you write, just that you turn up to write everyday … That said, I’m not ever giving up this space 😂 #writers #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #author #carmelharrington #writingroom #desk
    Yesterday it was all about Amelia (still kind of w Yesterday it was all about Amelia (still kind of was today 😂) but can’t forget Nate who went back to school today too. My little rockstar is now in 5th class. ❤️

I’m excited to watch this next stage of her life unfold. Lots of adventures coming her way ❤️ To all the kids starting a new school this week, I hope your days are full of fun and laughter, and that you find only kindness with all your new friends. ❤️ #NewSchool #secondaryschool #firstdayofschool

    Throwback Post to Ten Years Ago TODAY!!! My debut Throwback Post to Ten Years Ago TODAY!!! My debut Beyond Grace's Rainbow became an eBook bestseller. I remember feeling awe, wonder and hope - that I wasn't a one-book wonder! 😂 Fast forward ten years and a lot of fun/blood/sweat/tears/gin/Tayto/fun, I now have ten books published for my readers to enjoy! Let's hope I'm not a ten-book wonder and can stick around for another ten years. 🤣 How many of the ten books have you read?

    Days like this… Another Dolly Adventure, this ti Days like this… Another Dolly Adventure, this time - Bannow Bay, at Roches Campsite and Pony Trekking. Honestly our Motorhome trips in Dolly give me LIFE! We swam, played cards, Jenga, sang songs, danced a bit and even told a few ghost stories beneath that orange moon. Already planning our next trip … #motorhome #dollyadventures #camping
    You never know how a day will end up! Today I was You never know how a day will end up! Today I was serenaded by Christina Noble OBE and Claudia Carroll! 🤩 Now there’s something I could not have dreamed up 😂 My dear friend @claudiacarrollbooks invited me to afternoon tea at @westindublin to celebrate my birthday (which was in January.) It took us a while to find a date that we could both do, and today was the day! What a treat, food and company delicious. And when we bumped into the legend that is Christina Noble, Claudia told her that I was celebrating my birthday and before I knew it, Christina led the room in a gorgeous rendition of Happy Birthday! What an honour to meet such an incredible, inspiring woman, who by the way, was pitch perfect! And how lucky am I to call Claudia my dear friend. Who incidentally has just published a fabulous rom com called The Love Algorithm! A day I won’t forget for a long time ❤️
    Bookshelf Porn Alert! I finished Iine edits on bo Bookshelf Porn Alert! I finished Iine edits on book 11 and celebrated by sorting out my bookshelf 😂 I know, I’m a lost cause. Always about the books ❤️ I now have FOUR shelves for my never ending to be read books! I dare not count them. And I don’t even want to think about the eBooks that await me on my Kindle bookshelves! Anyhow, I decided to sort my TBR into rainbow colours. For the books I’ve read, they are on the higher shelves, sorted alphabetically. And I added my tenth novel A Mother’s Heart to my ego shelf! Shelves actually. With all editions of each of the ten books, I now take up THREE shelves! Oh and the books to the left of the arch, are my husbands. No system, just placed in any which way. Cannot cope 😂 When he’s not looking that’s the next job. #bookshelf #bookshelfdecor #bookshelfporn #carmelharrington
    After many late nights of line edits, I’ve sent After many late nights of line edits, I’ve sent my 11th novel back to my editors! To celebrate, I made this Grazing Board with Amelia last night. With wine and good friends, it was the perfect way to unwind. Is there any nicer combination than wine, cheese and laughter? Oh and yes, I use a blackboard as a tray for large groups! It’s the perfect size and inexpensive too ❤️ #grazingboard #carmelharrington #cheeseboard

    A gorgeous visit to @seafieldhotel this weekend! W A gorgeous visit to @seafieldhotel this weekend! We had our wedding reception there 14 & 1/2 years ago, so we try to visit at least once a year. Got a lot of sentimental value for Rog and me! As beautiful as ever, we had a lot of fun, eating great food and drinking a cocktail or two. Have to give a special shout-out to their manager, Bryan. He took care of us when we got married there and from then to now, he always welcomes us so warmly. Never forgets a name or detail. For us, he’s part of the reason why we keep going back. A true gentleman. Until the next time Seafield …
