Irish Author (Inishowen, Donegal). A book is about home – how we end up staying put, as sometimes that is easier, and how we go about leaving. It follows two brothers, Dan and Cahir, during their last year at home together in Inishowen, in the north west of Ireland. It is also about good and bad and the certainty that people have that they are doing the right thing. The author lives in Inishowen - Donegal, where he manages a shop with his brother. Before that he studied medicine in Belfast. Penny Baps is Kevin's first book, which he worked on during the Stinging Fly creative writing course with author Mia Gallagher. Touches of Donal Ryan’s The Spinning Heart but more insular in feel and scope.

A year at home in the country with Monty Don - the UK's favourite gardener, dog owner, writer and broadcaster - on a personal journey through the natural year, season by season, month by month.

How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritise tasks and people that are important to us. If we focus our time, energy and attention on the wrong things we will never achieve the success or happiness that we aspire to. The problem is that these wrong things, the low value, low impact tasks that distract us from our priorities, are hard to ignore. They scream out at us all day: digital distractions, other people's urgent demand for 'five minutes' that's never five minutes, the meetings that you shouldn't be in, the pointless email chains, the reports you write that don't get read. We get a dopamine hit from ticking these tasks off a list. It's got us hooked on crazy busyness. But all we are doing is scratching off a layer of fake work on top of the real, valuable work. The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save people from this addiction and instead become productive again.

'A writer out to do whatever the hell he wants . . . a grisly, gross-out slice of medieval life and death, it's vigorously, writhingly itself, spilling out of any box you put it in' Observer
