Emmys!
The hour by hour story of my night at the Emmys is in my Stories / Highlights but safe to say it was beyond anything I could ever have imagined. Somehow I ended up seated in the second row with some of my favourite All Her Fault cast members and with a bird's eye view of the stage.
The entire ceremony and the Governer's Ball afterwards was an absolutely gorgeous celebration of the art and craft of storytelling in TV form and I inhaled every second of it.
The story of how I ended up there started five years ago when Nigel Marchant of Carnival happened across a Sunday Times review of All Her Fault and decided he wanted to adapt it for TV 💫
The story of All Her Fault goes back further to the real playdate that inspired the book – I went to pick up my daughter only to find she wasn't there 😳
The story of my love for TV goes back much, much further – a childhood dedicated to watching shows like the A-Team, Macgyver, The Fall Guy, Remington Steele, The Kids from Fame, Moonlighting, and Chips. I loved TV back when it was seen as the slightly lower brow sister to film and I still loved it when shows began featuring A-list actors previously only seen in cinemas. Along with reading, watching TV is my favourite hobby – as long as there's storytelling in any form, I'm here for it.
Thank you for all the good wishes, I had the time of my life, and huge thanks to Leah Middleton, Carnival, and NBCU for getting me here (figuratively and literally) thanks to @designerroom.ie for the Só by Rhoda dress – go to Rhoda for ANY dress rental needs, she is amazing, thanks to @cocoalexanderlive for my hair which I adored, and to @dublindamo who stayed home with the kids and basically made all of this (since the early days, not just this) possible xxxx

News!
I am so so happy to say that It Should Have Been You has won Crime Fiction Book of the Year at the An Post Irish Book Awards 🙌
Thank you so much to everyone who voted, to An Post, to our category sponsors, The Book Centre, and to all my friends in the room and on the live stream – click through to my Stories to see what they surprised me with after my speech 😍
(Also swipe to see who photo-bombed a pic of Jane Casey and me 👀)
I am very lucky to have an amazing editor, Finn Cotton, and an amazing agent, Diana Beaumont, and to work with fantastic teams in Penguin Ireland and Transworld, and brilliant publicists Leonor Arujo and Becky Short, with equally brilliant marketing from Jen Porter. Thanks also to Jeramie Orton and Bhavna Chauhan my US and Canadian editors who worked on this. I'll stop listing names now because that's how people get left out, but I am so grateful, so happy, and so ready for the weekend after the 2 am finish at what is always the best night of the publishing year.
PS huge love to my family with additional thanks to my kids for sorting themselves out for dinner last night and to my husband for the photos, the company, the prosecco, the bag carrying, the taxi hailing, the coffee this morning and surely he'll make some toast for me soon 😀

#ItShouldHaveBeenYou

I don't quite know how to explain what last night felt like, sitting in the theatre watching the first episode with the cast of All Her Fault, but I will try!
Ten years ago, I arrived to collect my daughter from a playdate only to find that nobody lived in the house. For a minute, I thought she'd been kidnapped, then I found out the family had simply moved to a new house and I had the old address.
Six years ago, I decided to write this playdate story for my fourth book.
Four years ago, All Her Fault was published and unbeknownst to me, Nigel Marchant of Carnival, the production company who made Downton Abbey, was reading the Sunday Times and took note of their August 2021 Crime Novel of the Month. He bought the book and read it, and two months later, I got an email from my TV agent to say Carnival would like to meet about optioning All Her Fault.
This time last year, I was in Melbourne, watching filming.
And last night, I had the best night of my entire life at the premiere.
Sitting across the aisle from Dakota, with Abby one row behind her, Jake one row ahead, and Sarah in the next row, watching them play Jenny, Lia, Peter and Mrissa, people I made up in my head at my kitchen table is a feeling I'll never forget.
And the well wishes here over the last few days have been so uplifting – everyone has been extraordinarily lovely. My best friends, the most amazing friends anyone could wish for, surprised me by arranging hair and makeup, spearheaded by powerhouse pal Lucy. The book is about a missing child, yes, but it's also hugely about female friendship, and this has been carried through to the TV show. I know a lot about female friendship and women supporting women because of the wonderful people I'm lucky to know in real life. So even if the kidnap element of the real life inspiration is fictional, the friendship element is absolutely true.
You can see All Her Fault on Peacock on Thursday (US) and on Sky/ Now on Friday (Ire/ UK).
PS swipe for the photo of the Succession cast reunion to support Sarah 😍
AND we met Cousin Greg!
And we took home the branded napkins 😀

PUBLICATION DAY!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
No One Saw A Thing and Hide and Seek both publish in the US today, joining Someone in the Attic and It Should Have Been You on American bookshop shelves, in advance of Such A Nice Girl which comes out in March.
Here's a little about both books for American readers:
NO ONE SAW A THING: When Sive’s two young daughters jump on the train ahead of her, and the doors shut, leaving Sive behind, she signals for them to get off at the next stop. When she finally reaches the next stop, Sive expects to see both of her daughters, but only one child is standing there. Has her other daughter gotten lost? Been taken by a passing stranger? Or is the culprit closer to home? No one is telling the truth, and the longer the search continues, the harder she will be to find.
HIDE AND SEEK: After a game of hide and seek, Lily Murphy disappears. Years later, Joanna and Mark Stedman move into the neighborhood; it seems like the perfect place to raise their kids—until they learn that Lily Murphy used to live in their house. As Joanna unravels the secrets of this close-knit community, her own dark past begins to resurface. Joanna thinks she knows what happened to Lily, but if the truth gets out, it might be her undoing.
Out now in print, ebook and audio – huge thanks to my fabulous publisher @pameladormanbooks @vikingbooks 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Our first trip together was when we were sixteen, a school trip to Delphi Adventure Centre or maybe it was Peigland 🤔 After that came Irish College reunions in Carreroe, the Trip to Tipp, various J1 summers, a week in the Canaries, a whole heap of hen parties, some gorgeous faraway weddings, and then about ten years ago, we decided we needed an annual girls' trip somewhere sunny and this new era was born.
We haven't quite managed to do it every year so you could say it's the slowest world tour of girl-trip destinations of all time, but our weekend in Marbella just now was one of my faves 👌🫶💫
All 'where should we sight-see' plans were ditched when we realised the weather was 22 'C and sunny, and we spent Saturday on sun loungers by the sea. (If you've been to the Amare hotel, you'll know about the buttons🥂)
So where to next year, for some early November sun?

October bank holiday Monday 2021 (a public holiday in Ireland but not anywhere else) I got a life-changing email from my amazing TV agent, Leah, to tell me about interest in optioning All Her Fault for TV. I still remember reading it, just after parking the car in Dun Laoghaire to drop my daughter and her friend to the shops, though I couldn't have known then how life-changing it would eventually be.
October bank holiday Monday 2024 I was on set for the first time in Melbourne at the filming of All Her Fault, where I met Sarah Snook, Abby Elliott, Sophia Lillis and ate cake with Michael Peña. (Lots of set pics here that I haven't shared before, including Milo's bedroom and Brian's house.)
October bank holiday Monday 2025, I flew to London for the first screening of All Her Fault episode 1 with Carnival and the screenwriters.
October bank holiday Monday 2026: so far I've caught up on emails, fed the kids and emptied the dishwasher but maybe I'll have a glass of something sparkling later to toast a day that's been very good to me over the years 🥂

Murder One!
Someone asked me if me and my writer friends are on the organising committee for Murder One – we are not, we are just hugely emotionally invested in this amazing festival run by our friend @samblakebooks and her team and therefore spent the whole weekend at panels, doing panels, going to the Royal Marine for drinks and Karen's Kitchen for in between sustenance. I suspect the Royal Marine will be glad nobody's moving their giant chairs around the foyer for the fourth night in a row, see @CathRyanHoward's reel for the evidence.
Added bonus, this festival's on my home turf in Dun Laoghaire which looked absolutely beautiful all weekend making us extra proud showing our overseas writer guests around. Amazing how we always feel responsible for the weather when we have visitors, especially @_AntonioLanzetta who came all the way from 24'C Italy to entertain us with his stories.
Can't wait for next year!

New book announcement!
I BLAME THE PARENTS coming May 2027 is about Ellen who's at home with her son one stormy night while her husband has gone to collect their daughter.
The wind and rain get worse, and there's a report in their community WhatsApp group about a car accident nearby.
Worried, she tries her husband and daughter but can't reach them.
Then there's a knock on the door and she opens it to find two uniformed police officers on her door-step.
Her legs go weak, her worst fears are realised... but then they tell her why they're there and it's something else entirely 👀
Available to pre-order now in all the usual places ‐ links in bio and on Stories, and cover coming soon!

What's your greatest fear?
That's the question that came up in our Irish Murderesses WhatsApp group one day (a group chat of Irish women crime writers) and suddenly* ta dah, it's a book!
32 short stories, all crime, each one loosely or tightly based around a specific fear. (If you read mine, DM me to tell me what you think my fear is 👀)
The book is for charity, with each author and both editors donating their work for free, and every cent of royalties going to Women's Aid.
The book goes on sale this Thursday and is available to pre-order now if you'd like to get it through your letterbox or arriving on your Kindle.
We're launching it in Eason Dun Laoghaire this Thursday (15th) at 6.30pm and EVERYONE is welcome. Caps necessary because each time I post about an event like this, people tell me afterwards they didn't think 'everyone' included them. It does!
If you're in or around Dublin, please come along, buy a book for a good cause, and get it signed by any or all of the 21 of us who'll be there.
There are FEAR events taking place too at Murder One this weekend, plus heaps more crime writer events – full details at @murderonefest or on the website.
I'll be there on Saturday for the 2pm and 4pm events, and my own event at 6pm with Jane Casey and Catherine Ryan Howard and I'll be back on Sunday for three more events before the festival wraps for another year.
(*Suddenly = months of work by our incredible editors Sam Blake and CL Murphy)
