unfortunately I have yet to find a way of posting about these things without feeling like the bi-weekly "don't miss out, order now!" text from Papa Johns that I keep forgetting to opt out of

also a reminder that my book launch is on 12th June at the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast and I am doing events at numerous lovely bookshops in June and July; I would love to see you there, tickets are all at the link below.

book cover for Thirst Trap by Gráinne O'Hare, coming June 2025. The cover is a cigarette slotted into a Barbie doll shoe, against a pink and lilac background.

partly joined this website because the title of my debut novel was a bot-magnet in the other place; for new followers, my debut novel THIRST TRAP now has a cover and is published June next year with Picador ✨️
