Book Description
'Sunday Miscellany' is a celebration of the rich fabric of life and culture, the inventiveness of the human voice and the scope of the human mind. Giving the reader a sense of place and past, of humour and of sadness, these vignettes are the essence of Sunday Miscellany, and of the Sunday mornings it has made its own."

Book Description
Cindy, a with-it and cynical young teen, still traumatised by her mother's recent death, is appalled when her father falls in love with one of her teachers, a woman with two teenage daughters of her own. Surely he can't be serious? She cannot imagine a worse fate than having a teacher as her stepmother, and as for the two prissy girls - she is never going to call them sisters ... no way! But, if Cindy dislikes her prospective stepsisters, they think she is an absolute horror - spoiled, arrogant and atrociously rude to them and their mother when they visit her house. Whatever about their mother marrying again, they can't imagine being landed with Cindy as a sister ... no way! But the parents are going to marry, and the girls are going to be family, like it or not. So who gives in? Is there any room for compromise? Will the unlikely trio of stepsisters ever change their minds about each other? TWO GREAT BOOKS IN ONE In a unique feature the girls' stories are told in two separate back-to-back books, one for Cindy and the other for Ashling and Alva. The reader can choose which story to begin with, getting a very different viewpoint on the girls depending on whose side of the story they read first. Cover of Ashling's diary:

Book Description
One hot sticky summer three very different sisters, each with something to hide, descend on their granny . . . Susan has just broken up with her fiancé, but she isn't exactly telling the full story. Felicity, elegant and successful, usually spends her brief holidays on top of a mountain or shopping on Fifth Avenue, so how come she's spending so long 'just chilling out'? And Marianne, carefree and feckless, perennially on the run from boyfriends and jobs, what kind of a mess has she got herself into this time? Add to the mix an intriguing long-lost cousin, and Angela, their long-suffering granny . . . well, something has to give and when it does the girls' lives will be transformed for ever.

Book Description
The urge to write, whether in poetry or prose derives, at least in part from vanity, but I would also suggest more serious reasons for the endeavour: explicitly to raise awareness around social injustice, environmental destruction, and human suffering. Injustice and suffering derive, in the main, from avoidable catastrophes and resource misuse, which are either planned or are allowed to continue with impunity, by and large through political intrigue. There are, of course, many other reasons as to why writers engage with the craft. This book has been inspired by another contemporary Irish poet, Conor Farrell, who lives and works in Spain. It is also inspiring to read other poets such as Seamus Heaney, Paddy Kavanagh, Simon Armitage, Michael Hartnett and writers in prose and song, namely, Bertrand Russell, Noam Chomsky, George Orwell, John Prine and Bob Dylan, amongst others. It is widely accepted now, especially amongst those who reflect earnestly on the human condition, that serious societal inequalities are widespread and that there are significant imbalances casting shadows over our lives. For instance, there are the wealthy, who haven’t enough: they are entitled. Sadly, they seem to be utterly indifferent to the plight of children dying from malnutrition, mindless conflicts and preventable diseases. It is scourges such as these that motivate me to write: social disparities ought not be permitted to exist in a civilised world. Where I can, I like to paint pictures with words, as Hartnett does in his poem A Falling Out .....There, on the cobbles of the market square, where toothless penny ballads rasped the air, there among spanners, scollops, hones, and pikes, limp Greyhound cabbage, mending-kits for bikes, velvet calves in creels, women’s overalls, she shook my hand beside the market stalls.......... And as if the disregard of inequity and injustice is not enough, it is now commonplace for those in power to denigrate and abuse scientific endeavour. Those at the tiller also try to deceive us by means of the fraudulent use of language as well as through tax concessions for the wealthy. Poor governance also seems to facilitate unjustified privilege for the few enabled by corrupt manipulation of the democratic process. I believe these practices must end through education, rational persuasion, participative democracy and progressive taxation. I sincerely hope that we can succeed in turning the tide before it’s too late. *** “The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” ?

Book Description
Intimate and daring, the poems in Patrick Chapman's remarkable third collection explore with often searing clarity the naked spaces of love, sex and death. Startling, original, sometimes quietly devastating, this is the finest work to date from a writer hailed as `one of the very best modern Irish poets.'
