I'll be doing a writing masterclass in Derry City Library on 12 September as part of the Irish Writers Centre Writers in the Regions series.

Booking details not available yet I don't think, but keep an eye on the Irish Writers Centre site (and I'll post it here too).

β€˜Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.
