I was beyond thrilled in October 2018 to find out that One Click had been shortlisted for an Irish Book Award – it was in the Crime category along with incredibly talented writers Liz Nugent, Dervla McTiernan, Jo Spain, William Ryan and Steve Cavanagh.
It’s a cliché but it’s also true – for me, the winning was in the shortlisting. A true career highlight, across both careers.
The event itself was incredible – this is a short clip of interviews on the night, including one with me:
