For God's Sake: The Hidden Life of Irish Nuns called 'an utterly compelling read' by Irish Independent In a major review in the Irish Independent (November 22) Camillus Metcalfe's new book receives high praise from reviewer Anne Cunningham. For God's Sake: The Hidden Lives of Irish Nuns consists of ten interviews with nuns who are highly critical of their treatment. Anne Cunningham says that 'what emerges ... are lives lived by nuns in convents and institutions that were miserable, brutal and tyrannical'. Speaking of how the nuns treated orphans and unwed mothers, she says that 'this book is not an apologia or defence ... but it may increase our understanding of how such coldness an cruelty could happen'. She concludes by saying that 'Camillus Metcalfe has written an immensely compassionate book'.

Minister Alan Kelly Praises New Books on Killaloe by Henry Murdoch The new Minister for the Environment and Local Government, Alan Kelly TD, offered effusive praise to Henry Murdoch's two new books, Remembering Killaloe and My Killaloe: “I could only describe these books as local treasures. Henry has perfectly encapsulated Killaloe and the surrounding areas and chartered how this beautiful location evolved over time in a unique and capturing writing style. I know that it took years and months of painstaking work to put it all together, but as someone from the area I can safely say it was very worthwhile and I congratulate Henry and all of the others involved."

A Publisher's Guide to Self-Publishing Course The Liffey Press is delighted to announce that it will be running a new five-week course aimed at anyone who would like to get their written work into print.

Advances in technology, in particular digital printing, mean that it is now possible to produce high quality publications at a very reasonable cost. Also, as the book trade continues to contract, many authors are finding it increasingly difficult to get their work published by traditional means. More and more, the solution will be for them to go out on their own.

This course will take participants step-by-step through the entire publishing process with a particular emphasis on producing well designed books at the lowest price possible. Self-published authors have full control over their own work, and even fairly modest sales will allow them to at least break even. And if their book does very well….
