We are pleased to welcome to Graignamanagh's Town Of Books Festival Irish author Louise Phillips, who will be talking about her exciting new crime novel 'Red Ribbons' (Date TBA) Louise has won several writing awards, and is also the Crime Scene writer for writing.ie-- no wonder her book & book video trailer hits that perfectly chilling spot!
Have a watch!
We also are pleased to welcome Mark Graham, i.e. Festival Monkey, who will tell you about his quest to attend 3 festivals a week in Ireland, for a whole year! (Date TBA) He'll have just finished the year when he comes to Graig's Town Of Books Festival- will he have managed to achieve his goal? Especially after being swept out to sea last week & injured! You can follow his very amusing writing & adventures on The Irish Times' 'Festival Fit' and on Mark's own site, A Year Of Festivals In Ireland.

Note:
We are in process of finalizing the 2012 programme, & finishing this new website!
Apologies that some, (but not all) of the tabs don't have all the current information yet-- they will very soon! (This is my first try at making a website, and it is all on a free platform, so I can't do anything fancy)
