Just finished The Final Game by Caimh McDonnell and really enjoyed it! In a nutshell - a rich widow who may or may not be murdered and sets up The Money Games to get her awful family to win their inheritance. Plus there’s the no small matter of her possible murder… #booksky @caimhmc.bsky.social

You should mention that audiobooks on whitehairedirishman.shop are on sale - pre-ordering for Β£5.99 felt like I was stealing it from you.

MCM investigations are back! Or at least Brigit, Paul and Jimmy are - Phil has mysteriously disappeared. The bonds of friendship are tested like never before when the team are left with no choice but to steal Ireland’s greatest treasure to literally save their own necks. Strap in for a wild ride.

Rugby drinking game: every time someone on ITV says the word Pollock…
Sorry, this is the EMT here. We were far too late to save this man. Please drink responsibly. #SixNationsRugby

Book 1 - Ring the Bells by @caimhmc.bsky.social

Horrible murders at a book club, a demonic book and a megalomaniac Santa Claus? What's not to love?

Seriously, this series has some much heart it's really hard not to love them. And in Manchester they feel very believable.

Thanks so much. Thrilled you enjoyed it.

Snoakes's review of Ring the Bells (Stranger Times, #5) 5/5: I love the Stranger Times series, it just gets better and better. And it's really saying something that I bought Ring the Bells especially to read over the Christmas period as I'm not generally ...

Just spotted a bargain on Amazon, @caimhmc.bsky.social 's Stranger Times Ring The Bells book is 99p on kindle and for under Β£4 I was able to upgrade to the Audible version too (read by the very talented Brendan McDonald)

Still asking for the hard back for Xmas though, I absolutely love the series!

The book cover sits in the center of the image. The cover shows a black and white illustration of Santa's head with red accents. The red parts being his hat and his evil black-rimmed eyes. The background of the cover is a contrasting green with a pattern of tiny dots. Mixed into the face and hat are tiny hidden images. Some of which are: Santa's reindeer, a t-rex, a dragon/snake, a whirlpool sucking people into it, a giant bee, and in the green background, helicopters and someone falling from one. The background of the image is matching red with a pattern of stylized holly leaves and berries.

Friday, @kitvaria.bsky.social reviewed @caimhmc.bsky.social's Ring the Bells! - JI πŸŽ„

"A loud, messy, foul-mouthed Christmas story about belief, chaos, and doing the right thing despite being spectacularly bad at it."

@caimhmc.bsky.social tells me about his latest novel RING THE BELLS, why calling something a trilogy is a bad idea, and why it's crucial to take note of when you're writing good stuff, and much more!

You'd better not shout
You'd better not cry
You'd better watch out
I'm telling you why
You are in the film 'The Quiet Place'

My two dogs, Diller and Jackson, looking very serious beside a German edition of my book Ring The Bells.

These mean and moody boys would like you to know that Ring The Bells is out today in Germany. Published by the wonderful people at @eichbornverlag.bsky.social and translated by the incomparable Andre Mumot - have yourself a Frohe Weihnachten (yes, I did just Google that)

Tbf to me, I wrote about the Happy Mondays bassist although Mani is a massive Manc legend. I did actually have an idea for a character based on him.

As a newcomer to @caimhmc.bsky.social's work, I've finally caught up on the podcast back catalogue - and I think this is my favourite short story so far!
