My books on a library tour of Northern Ireland

It’s always lovely to check into Libraries NI and find out where my novels are currently being borrowed. It makes me so happy to know that readers are discovering my books among the shelves, and that they’re finding their way out of Belfast and across the country. Here’s where they’re currently all on loan:

The Blue Man is in the Belfast Heritage Writer’s collection, on the shelves at Hollywood Arches and Newtonbreda libraries and is on loan at Portrush library.

The Fairy Lights is in the Belfast Heritage Writer’s collection, on the shelf at Newtonbreda library and on loan at Ballycastle library.

Matthew’s Twin is in the Belfast Heritage Writer’s collection at Belfast central library and one copy is out on loan.

The Buddha’s Bone is on the shelves at Belfast central and Newtonbreda.

Gods of Avalon Road is on the shelves at Ormeau Road library and Belfast central, where it was currently in the Halloween display.

Authors, did you know…?

If your books are eligible through the Public Lending Right service, you get paid for every time a reader borrows your books from a library? The payment is similar to getting paid for readers who download your books on Kindle Unlimited.

I must say, knowing that readers are borrowing my books is a welcome dose of motivation to keep writing. Even though the payment from the Public Lending Right fund is less than readers buying my eBooks, paperbacks or hardcovers outright, it makes me feel good knowing that readers who may not be able to afford to buy my books can still access them. Books are for everyone!
