When we were brainstorming who we could invite to be our first author interview, we had a short list of criteria: We wanted an Irish author, someone who had a book recently released, and someone who we could have a bit of craic with and this lady came straight to mind. Catherine Walsh is the new queen of contemporary Romance in Ireland (and elsewhere if the reviews are anything to go by!) and one of the funnest accounts to follow on Bookstagram. Fun aside, Catherine raises some really excellent points about the lack of visibility and respect for Romance as a genre and we suspect you might think a bit differently about it after you’ve heard her speak…Both the author and her books have been an absolute joy to get to know and we hope you love the episode as much as we do.Catherine's RecommendationsA book to get into reading or get back into reading after a slump Do a re-read of an old favouriteWho are your go-to authors?
