Very excited to have held my official launch for “Stigmaplay”. It took place on the evening Thursday 27 February 2025.
The venue was Chapters Bookstore on Parnell Street in Dublin. They’re a great place for speculative fiction (great science fiction section), and they have a great selection of second-hand books as well as new titles.
The launch took a fair bit of organisation, but I really enjoyed the evening. We sold all but two copies of the book. :)
David Butler introduced the event - he’s the author of awesome books like the short story collection “Fugitive” and (as Dara Kavanagh) the novel “Jabberwock” gave a great introduction prior to a reading from me from the novel.
If you’re around Dublin, why not stop by Chapters and pick up a book or three?
