For once, these men are the objects; I am the subject. Me, me, me. Rosemary Mac Cabe was always a serial monogamist – never happier than when she was in a relationship or, at the very least, on the way to being in one. But in her desperate search for ‘the one’ – from first love to first lust, through a series of disappointments and the searing sting of heartbreak – she learned that finding love might mean losing herself along the way. This Is Not About You is a life story in a series of love stories. About Henry, with the big nose and the lovely mum, with whom sex was like having a verruca frozen off in the doctor’s surgery: ‘uncomfortable, but I had entered into this willingly’. About Dan, with the goatee. About Luke, who gave her a split condom. About Frank, who was married... But mostly, it’s about Rosemary, figuring out just how much she was willing to sacrifice for her happy ending.

SOHO. London's most notorious and unforgettable village. The Bohemian heart beating at the city centre for more than three hundred years. The place where respectable West End theatres, gay bars, hookers and sex shops vie for your pound, dollar or yen less than a mile from Buckingham Palace. Sit outside one of Soho's many street cafes for any length of time and you'll see a huge variety of people passing by. A handful will have been born there, most are visitors who've come to work, to seek out sensation or to cruise for sex. But some came once, got seduced or found what they were looking for, and never left. SOHO NIGHTS is the uproarious, witty and touching saga of an engaging cast of characters - straight, gay, black, white, old, young - who share an ancient house in Soho and whose personal stories, separate yet intertwined, funny as well as dramatic, smash all social and sexual barriers.

Orphaned at the age of ten, Laura OConnor is swept from a haphazard home-life into a neighbors family before she can come to terms with her mothers death. Grace Lindsey welcomes her with open arms and an open heart. Content with life as it is, Sam Lindsey has no good reason to refuse Laura a home other than his dislike for her mother and an avowed aversion to watching his wife risk the devastation of yet another loss. Personalities clash as Grace and Sams son, David, enters the picture, stirring in Laura a host of feelings complicated as she matures by the family situation and her friendship with his wife. Desperate for a way out, her life spirals downward into a series of irreversible choices that leave her disillusioned, disheartened, and afraid she has compromised love and home even as they come looking for her. Windswept is the opening novel of a series in three parts that follows the Lindsey family as they grapple with the bonds of family, the power of forgiveness, and the capacity of love to heal and transform.
The Ordnance Survey and Modern Irish Literature offers a fresh new look at the origins of literary modernism in Ireland. Beginning with the archives of the Ordnance Survey, which mapped Ireland between 1824 and 1846, the book argues that the roots of Irish modernism lie in the attempt by the Survey to produce a comprehensive archive of a land emerging rapidly into modernity. Drawing on literary theory, studies of space, the history of cartography andIrish Studies, the book paints a picture of Irish writing deeply engaged in the representation of the multi-layered landscape, and will appeal to students of Irish literature, modernism, Irish history, mapshistory, and theories of space and place.
A fresh, accessible and authoritative study that conveys the richness and diversity of Irish poets, their lives and times.
