Luke bravely writing about his injury for CBC News (where he now works):
"I wrote two novels, then a traumatic brain injury forced me to learn to write all over again."

There's a high possibility that James might be attending this launch of SAINTS REST by @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social #canlit #nbbluesky
13.03.2025 15:50 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The cover of Saints Rest by Luke Francis Beirne. The cover features a grainy cityscape on the lower-half with the title "Saints Rest" displayed prominently at the top.
@lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social's neo-noir SAINTS REST (Baraka Books) is a gripping page-turner set in the gritty streets of Saint John, where a P.I. is pulled into a murder case that reveals deep undercurrents of corruption and control.

Great turnout last night for Luke @lukefrancisbeirne.bsky.social Delighted. I am a tad jealous: flowers, cake & a themed mug. The Write Cup Bookstore and Cafe even had a special drink on sale, a Saint John Fog (Orange Pekoe and Salted Caramel - a twist on a London Fog). And plenty of books sold too!
