There was a cool, lengthy interview with me in the Irish Examiner today, one of Ireland's leading national newspapers. Among other things, I talk about the pandemic and self-publishing, and how being a self-published author allowed me to dramatically change the release dates for my new Archibald Lox series in response to the first global lockdown last year. You also find out the identity of my literary hero -- which shouldn't come as any great surprise to anyone!

There are ups and downs to self-publishing. One of the big downs is that it's very difficult to get featured in a major national newspaper -- getting that kind of coverage is tricky for ANY children's author or horror/fantasy author, but especially hard if you don't have the backing of a major publisher, and if your books aren't physically available on the shelves of bookstores. So I'd like to offer up some big, BIG thanks to Marjorie Brennan for agreeing to interview me, to the Irish Examiner for arranging to publish it, and to my publicist Catherine for setting it all up in the first place.
