A time to sow, a time to reap, a time to blog

It is time to write a blog.

Important topics to contemplate roaming the secret landscapes of my mind include Would I Marry Myself, Where does an In-between Man Find Fire, Why No is the New No and Neck Is a Great Thing Too, Isn’t It?

There, consider the blog half born.

I have, of course, back dated this post by a few weeks so that it doesn’t stick as the top post on the home page. That’s the kind of thing an in-between man does while he’s not really sure whether he wants to find fire or when he meets fire with reticence.

Launch of Second Chance & Other Stories

Get ready for an evening of storytelling and reflection as the Wild Atlantic Words Literary Festival in Castlebar hosts the launch of Second Chance & Other Stories by Liam Horan.

Taking place at the Festival Dome, Bridge Lane, Castlebar, on Saturday, October 8, 2024, at 8:00 pm, the event promises an immersive experience with Horan himself reading selections from his debut collection, followed by an insightful interview with Pat Conway.

Horan’s stories explore the subtleties of middle age, from loss and nostalgia to rediscovery and resilience. Set in the west of Ireland, his 15 tales introduce a cast of characters whose journeys through love, friendship, and self-acceptance resonate deeply.

This is a celebration of human nature and change, conveyed through Horan’s empathetic prose and intimate settings.

Arrive early to secure your seat for this free event, and pre-order Second Chance & Other Stories on MayoBooks.ie to dive into these reflective and moving stories.
