This was a big day for Bram Stoker in 1897 - he published Dracula. Big day for me too with my new children’s book The Boy Who Started Celtic out today. No vampires in mine. Just the story of my great granduncle who founded Glasgow #Celtic

... a new book for children Celtic’s enthusiastic young supporters. How many of them know the inspiring story of their club’s founder, a young Sligo boy Andrew Kerins who left Ireland in 1855 to seek a better life in Scotland?

Buying books online for Christmas: Kennys dot ie is invariably cheaper than Amazon, offers free delivery in Ireland, and keeps your money out of Bezos' pocket.

Like stories of pets who have wandered long distances? You're barking up the right tree. Here's Bobbie the Wonder Dog who walked from Indiana to Oregon, the less exotic canon's cat who went from Longford to Leitrim, & the social-climbing cat next door. irishtimes.com/opinion/an-ir…

Wow. I shared this today as the clip had popped up as a FB memory & I thought maybe some people might find it as funny as I do. The animation is by @flickerpix_ni. Had I known this was gonna go viral I’d have tagged them. 📻 🐓(There really should be a Child of Prague emoji.)
