If you can get tickets, don’t miss this beautiful adaption which is as heartwarming, emotional and uplifting as the book was. As for @DavidBreeds, I am in awe at his staggering talent. 
I wept in the final scenes. Highly recommend. ❤️

    A few photos from our Easter holiday! Partly a del A few photos from our Easter holiday! Partly a delayed 50th Birthday celebration and partly in research for next years book, we took a cruise from New York to the tropical paradise of Bermuda! Honestly, it was such an amazing couple of weeks. We ate and drank too much, lazed by the pool, watched Broadway shows and joined in the fun family entertainment on the cruise ship. 
Every morning we watching the sunrise from our balcony and one day, we watched a whale flip through the Atlantic Ocean. Incredible. It was an emotional hit reaching Bermuda, in particular walking on the pink Sands of Horseshoe Bay, following in the footsteps of characters that have lived in my imagination for the past year. Then introducing the kids to New York, and seeing a city I love through their eyes, was a joy. We had a lot of fun in Madame Tussaud’s hamming it up with the stars! And a pedicab tour of Central Park was a particular highlight for us all, with our tour guide taking gorgeous photos. Thankyou Barrie in Central Park Attractions. 
Back to work tomorrow, it’s going to be a busy couple of months but bring it on! I’m recharged and ready ♥️ I’ll share a few more pics on stories during the week …

It was one of those once in a lifetime trips and I’ll share some pics in a bit! Paradise found. ❤️ I’m back to work today and I can’t think of a nicer way to get back into work mode than this event! At the stunning Mansion House, the @lordmayorofdublin has compiled an incredible day of bookish events to celebrate #RumpusInTheRound. At 345pm, I’ll be joining @sineadmoriartywriter, in a Popular Fiction panel. If you are in Dublin, and fancy a chance to take a peek at The Mansion House and join in the bookish chats, come say hello. Events are free.
    Yesterday we were so proud to watch our Amelia Ros Yesterday we were so proud to watch our Amelia Rose make her Confirmation. It was such a wonderful day, celebrated with loved ones, memories made that we’ll cherish forever! Amelia chose to wear a vintage dress (I wore it over 30 years ago - yes I am now that old that I own vintage clothes 😜) and she also chose my confirmation name too - Thérèse! ♥️ Her sponsors, her two godmothers, Fiona and Adrienne. 
Our little Millie is growing up so fast,  Roger and I can’t quite believe it. 💕
    Audio fans, today is publication day of Beyond Gra Audio fans, today is publication day of Beyond Graces Rainbow. Almost ten years after it was first published, it finally has an audio edition! Narrated beautifully by Caroline Lennon, she really brings the cast of characters to life. 
Its also had a full edit and a new cover! 
I hope readers enjoy curling up with Grace and her friends. This one is a firm favorite with my lovely readers. But be warned, you might need some tissues …

    It’s honestly a privilege being Mammy to my crew It’s honestly a privilege being Mammy to my crew. They show me they love me all the time. But it was extra special today all the same. I awoke to flowers, chocolates, gifts and a book of kiddie coupons - my favorite gifts are always the handmade ones💕Then, as has been our tradition since the kids were babies, it was time for a gorgeous lunch in @riverbankhousehotel. Really a lovely day. 
But I also know that for every smile shared today, someone cried too, because today was difficult for them. If that was you, I’m sending love your way. 💕

    It feels like its all about America for me this we It feels like its all about America for me this week! My FB memories have just told me that 8 years ago today, I was off to USA for a mini book tour. And my first event was in @barnesandnoble in Indiana. This book display was the first time I’d seen my books like this, front of store. The excitement and nerves were off the chart! You know, I was so naive back then, I thought that my author life would only include big moments like this. Of course that’s not the case. It’s a merry go round of ups and downs, most of which happens from my writing room!Theres a lot of hard work to get a book from first draft to published edition. And there are  no guarantees that it will get a big wow moment like this. In fact I’ve not had a signing in a US book store since. But also worth remembering is that a book has no expiry date either. My second book, The Life You Left was a much quieter one than my debut Beyond Graces Rainbow. But right now it’s a bestseller in the US, eight years after it was published. That’s pretty cool. 
And when Barnes and Noble said goodbye to this giddy Irish author, they kindly gave me the large poster as a memento. And the following year, on Mothers Day, Rog surprised me by having it framed. It hangs in my writing room now, a lovely memory! 
Now it’s time to get back to Book 11, which is coming along very nicely.
