panel of debut writers.
Kirsty Capes - Careless
Sometimes it's easy to fall between the
cracks. At
3.04 p.m. on a hot, sticky day in June, Bess finds out she's pregnant. She
could tell her social worker Henry, but he's useless. She should tell her
foster mother, Lisa, but she won't understand. She really ought to tell Boy,
but she hasn't spoken to him in weeks. Bess knows more than anyone that love
doesn't come without conditions. But this isn't a love story...
Louise Nealon - Snowflake
Debbie White lives on a dairy farm with her mother, Maeve, and her uncle, Billy.
Billy sleeps out in a caravan in the garden with a bottle of whiskey and the
stars overhead for company. Maeve spends her days recording her dreams, which
she believes to be prophecies.
This world is Debbie's normal, but she is about to step into life as a student
at Trinity College Dublin. As she navigates between sophisticated new friends
and the family bubble, things begin to unravel.
Startling, fresh and utterly unique, Snowflake is a story of messy
families, messier friendships and how new chapters often mean starting right
back at the beginning.
Emily Edwards - The Herd
Elizabeth and Bryony are polar opposites but their unexpected friendship has always worked. They're the best of friends, and godmothers to each other's daughters - because they trust that the safety of their children is both of their top priority. But what if their choice could harm your own child? Little do they know that they differ radically over one very important issue. And when Bryony, afraid of being judged, tells what is supposed to be a harmless white lie before a child's birthday party, the consequences are more catastrophic than either of them could ever have imagined.
