‘Explores with a light, sure touch the subject of desire across distances of various kinds: generational, cultural, even spiritual. Tocando Tierra (Barcelona-Madrid: Egales, 2010) Long courrier (Paris: KTM éditions, 2013) Zarte Landung (Berlin: Krug & Schadenberg, 2014) Wherever you live, PLEASE support your local indie bookstore by buying from them either directly or through an indie-friendly hub such as or .uk. Landing was extremely hard to write, I think because of the need to wrestle autobiographical material into dramatic shape, and difficult to publish, I suspect because it is – on the whole – an upbeat romance. The novel was inspired by my own experience of commuting between Canada, England and Ireland for a few years before making the move to Canada. In 2008 the Golden Crown Literary Society gave it an award in the Lesbian Dramatic General Fiction category.Ī personal note: Landing was known, until the brink of publication, as Time-Zone Tango, a phrase to describe long-distance relationships that still gives me a kick. A contemporary love story about emigration, Landing – my fifth novel - is set in boomtown Ireland and smalltown Canada.
