I must say Frances McKenna did a marvellous job on the cover. I simply love it and the full painting will hang in pride of place in my house. I also love that anyone who buys a paperback book will also have their own Frances McKenna print.
Have a look at the book trailer to find out what all the fuss is about.
Join us to celebrate the launch of ‘Barren’ and an exhibition of Frances’s artwork at the Armagh County Museum, – where the inspiration for the book first struck!
If you are not local to Armagh, I also have a launch coming up in the Irish Writers Centre in Dublin on 14th May at 6.30 pm and another in No Alibis Bookshop in Belfast on 22nd May at 6 pm.
For those of you who live in the far North, I am in the process of confirming a date in Derry. More event dates are popping up as time goes on, so do check the website or follow me on social media for updates.
If none of these dates suit, or you live too far away to attend, and you’d like to preorder a signed copy of the book, this is the link you need: https://www.buythebook.ie/product/barren/
The ebook is also out on pre-order here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Barren-Byddi-Lee-ebook/dp/B0F1P71YXF
However you get a copy, I hope you enjoy it and that it brings hope and joyous colour to you.
