Yes indeedy, folks. You heard it here first. The next Northern Irish crime writer will be... me! (Unless some other bugger I haven't heard about gets in there first.)
The most excellent people at Guildhall Press will be publishing my West Belfast crime novel, Piranhas, some time before Christmas 2008.
Holy crap!
Guildhall also published Yours Confidentially by Garbhán Downey. I'm in pretty damn good company.

Congratulations can't wait to read it. With a title like that I gather it is book about you bank manager.
The huge advance should keep him at bay. ;o)
Well Done! I'll make a point of going to the book launch whether it's in Belfast or Derry.Keep us updated :-)
Norm - Thanks very much, sir. Not so sure about keeping the bank manager at bay, but a fellah can dream.
Dave - That'd be great. Nothing finalised, but I'd like to think I could launch it in both cities, though not at the same time... Will keep you posted.
