Bad Bridget hits the shelves!

Our book is out! After nearly 10 years of researching and writing, Bad Bridget: Crime, Mayhem and the Lives of Irish Emigrant Women was published by Penguin Sandycove on 26 January 2023.

We had a great time at our book launch at Waterstones, Belfast. Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support us and to everyone at Penguin and Waterstones (especially Laura and Anna) for setting it all up.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us! We really appreciate it!

The queue to get to @Elaineffarrell & @Leannemcck @Waterstones was sooo long and I had to run back home but got my copy and hoping they can sign it soon. Congratulations again on this brilliant book and event! 🎉🎉🎉 pic.twitter.com/fAS3Y9OfAV
