Here’s a little thread here of writers I’ve photographed over the years who have books out at the moment who have had to abandon book launches/signings/tours due to the dreaded C word. All available to order online at your local independent bookstores!

“Pretending” by @holly_bourneYA ( @HodderBooks). This photo was taken on a panel at @Dept51 Con last year!

“No Escape” by @arlenehunt ( @HachetteIre) and “The Last Crossing” by @BrianMcGilloway ( @DomePress). This is an oldie, taken in 2012 at the Books to Die For launch!

“Handiwork” by Sara Baume ( @TrampPress). Again, an oldie from a few years ago at @mountainstosea I think!

“A Talented Man” by @hmckervey ( @HachetteIre). This was taken at @MurderOneFest last November!

“My Pear Shaped Life” by @HappyMrsH ( @HCinIreland). I took this at Harper Collins’ annual Big Book Bonanza last year - a celebration for HC writers, booksellers & the HC team.

“On Midnight Beach” by @Marielouisefit1 ( @FaberChildrens), taken around @KidsBooksIrel family day in the @dlrLexIcon a few years ago.

“Our Little Cruelties” by @lizzienugent ( @PenguinIEBooks) - yes, I love this photo I’ve shared it a lot, taken at the @AnPostIBAS in 2018.

“The Body Falls” by @andysaibhcarter ( @LittleBrownUK) & “Fifty Fifty” by @SSCav ( @orionbooks), taken before their panel event together at @MurderOneFest last November.

“Constellations” paperback & US publication by @sineadgleeson ( @picadorbooks), taken at a @mountainstosea event a few years back.
