Author and comedian Caimh McDonnell published his latest comedy crime thriller, DISASTER INC. (McFiori Ink), on September 25th. Quoth the blurb elves:

He’s a good man having a bad day with the worst hangover.
  All Bunny McGarry wants is a spot of breakfast and a decent cup of tea. So imagine how annoyed he gets when two masked men attempt to rob the New York diner he is in? Unfortunately, dealing with that problem just leads to a whole lot more. One of the diner’s other customers isn’t who she appears to be, and the odds aren’t great that she is going to live to see another breakfast.
  So just how much trouble is she in?
  Well, you know how they’re always telling us to pay attention to our pensions? Some ex-employees of the US government are really taking that advice to heart by using their mayhem-creating abilities to maximise their investments. When one of their fund managers has a momentary crisis of conscience and confesses all to a woman he hardly knows, they will stop at nothing to deal with the problem. Amy Daniels is in big trouble and the only thing keeping her alive is a man who is supposed to already be dead.

Stand-up comedian and scriptwriter Caimh McDonnell published his debut novel, A MAN WITH ONE OF THOSE FACES (McFori Ink), on August 27th. Quoth the blurb elves:

A darkly comic Irish crime thriller.
  The first time somebody tried to kill him was an accident.
  The second time was deliberate.
  Now Paul Mulchrone finds himself on the run with nobody to turn to except a nurse who has read one too many crime novels and a renegade copper with a penchant for violence. Together they must solve one of the most notorious crimes in Irish history … or else they’ll be history.
