Nine bodies was pretty good too but I was blown away by Riot Women.

Personal bugbear of mine. Why oh why do women get asked if they’re « MissΒ Β» or « MrsΒ Β» - like we’re somehow defined by whether we’re married or not?! I checked in my car for some diagnostic tests yesterday and was asked this. To make it worse - there wasn’t even a « MsΒ Β» option. 😑🀬😑

I totally agree. Imagine if men had to declare to their marital status with their name! Ms it is!

Thanks for thinking of Barren - Independent publishing gives writers so much freedom to write the stories that need to be told. Your book "The Planters Daughter" is a great example of a graceful and impactful way to address many delicate topics to that really do need a platform. Viva the revolution!

Anyway on the topic of self and independent publishing - I think it’s vital for Irish literature because it allows writers to delve into subjects & ideas that are relevant and powerful without fear of rejection because of the market or a risk-averse mindset.
