We had a visit from the exceptionally lovely and brilliant Sophie Kirtley in store today!

She was kind enough to sign (and emboss!) copies of her books for us, including her newest release Swanfall. A brilliant adventure story inspired by Irish folklore.

A bit of mystery, a bit of magic, and a fantastic adventure awaits!
