That cover is gorgeous!! So glad you went with the deeper name, using both ancient languages and drawing the direct parallel between those roles.

So disappointed I missed the opportunity to see Manchán in London, but very pleased to find there are 2 podcast series for me to enjoy (Manchán on Moriarty & Manchán's Europe).

You're an inspiration!

And, I do hope you found The Almanac of Ireland, Rob. That's the crown jewels.!

Gutted! I’ll be back in Ireland in October and November but flying back out on November 10th and so will miss the launch and event at The Fumbally :( No doubt that Aisling and Co will do an amazing job of hosting you. Congratulations on getting the book out there with all that you have been facing on the health front. Looking forward to seeing you via the screen with Scoil Scairte Béo :)

Hey Manchan, you are so busy I am amazed you can fit in writing a Substack at all. Love the story of the pigs tending your land, maybe I should get some (Conor will be pleased to hear that!😄) Will get some tickets for Ramor Theatre, your lecture sounds right up my street! 💕

thanks, Vera. Most of my books have to be posted from Ireland www.manchansbooks.com is really good at posting safely to North America. We are exploring ways in the future that they may be available over there.
