Meik Wiking

Sue Meikle has always been obsessed with picture books, and after working as an Early Years Specialist for over 25 years, she has read stories to children from Stockport to South Africa. In schools, in early years centres, while on forest school adventures... Sue has even read stories on a travelling play bus! So, perhaps it was always in the stars for Sue to not just read books, but write them, too! When she's not reading or writing stories, Sue can be found walking her dog or chauffeuring her teenagers around the Greater Manchester area (because that’s where they live… in a home that they made from a derelict barn!)

Johnny McMahon

Johnny O'Brien

The 2 Johnnies' massive success has taken them as far afield as Sydney, Compton and Abu Dhabi. But for them nothing compares to living in Ireland. And in C'Mere and I Tell Ya they dig into the tastes, habits and rites of passage that have made them who they are. 
 
Whether it's ... 
 - dressing for the debs ('I'd say my cravat was the talk of Templemore for weeks') 
 - succeeding in a band ('I did backing vocals for six months and it turned out I was singing the wrong lyrics') 
 - doing a Strictly fundraiser for your GAA club ('Remember you're not Julia Roberts and the local butcher isn't Richard Gere, so keep it in the pants') 
 - recognizing the no-go moves at a stag ('Nobody wants to see a sixteen-stone man in a pink thong. Nobody') 
... Johnny B and Johnny Smacks capture it perfectly. And they have down-to-earth advice for every conceivable situation - and a few inconceivable ones. 
 
C'Mere and I Tell Ya is a one-stop celebration of Irishness, chicken goujons and being sound.

Joanne McNally

If there's one thing that Joanne McNally knows it's that we may have smart phones, Prozac and Prosecco, but we're still just animals trying to survive. And in Femme Feral, she explores the chaos and exhilaration that results from following our basic instincts. Blending stories from her life with wider observations about what it means to be a 'single, unfertilised female in her 30s'. 
 
Femme Feral is both hilarious and reassuring, boldly revealing that Joanne knows exactly the BS that most of us grow up with and can never quite escape. Whether it's body image, booze, fashion, dodgy boyfriends, withholding therapists, weak pelvic floors or figuring out how to be enough - this book shows that no woman is out there on her own. 
 
Raucously funny and infinitely insightful, Femme Feral is Joanne McNally's dazzling survival manifesto.

Femme Feral

Nothing warms us up quite like a hug, but what can we do when we can't be together? 
 
This is the story of a new hug's adventure and the boy who shared it with the world. 
 
Adam King stole the hearts of the nation when he introduced us to his Virtual Hug, a heart-shaped sign he carried during the COVID-19 pandemic to help him stay connected to his teacher while he was learning from home. He also took it to his regular hospital appointments to show his doctors, nurses, and care staff that he was still giving them a hug, just in a different way. 
 
 This picture book, inspired by true events, tells the story of one little boy with a big idea that came straight from the heart. The virtual hug makes its way onto mugs, postage stamps and even all the way to outer space, spreading warmth and connection to people all over the world.

A Hug For You

Sinéad Moriarty

Family life is enough of a juggle without ... The In-Laws 
 
Amanda. Katie. Melanie. 
 
Three wildly different women with one big problem – their impossible mother-in-law, Nancy. 
 
When an unexpected crisis hits the family business, the sisters-in-law find themselves navigating stormy waters. Amanda is back in town and ready to reclaim her spot at the top. Katie, the feisty outsider, knows she'll never earn Nancy’s approval – and has stopped caring. Melanie, ambitious and savvy, is more than capable of running the business, if only Nancy would loosen her iron grip. 
 
Forced to confront messy truths about marriage, motherhood, succession and family loyalty, the three women soon realize their greatest strength might just be each other. 
 
The In-Laws is a sharp, funny, and relatable novel about surviving the family you didn’t choose.
