"How will Santa Find us?" is a children's book highlighting homelessness at Christmas

With a record number of people homeless in this country, and a heartbreaking level of children among them, a very timely book entitled How will Santa Find Us? has been published, with proceeds going to Focus Ireland.  You'll find out more details here.

I spoke to co-author of the book, Shane O'Brien.

Winterval is in full swing, and among the many things that are happening in Waterford City for the festival is a Storytelling slot at The Book Centre with Kitti Caboodle. She joined me in studio, along with her ukelele, to give a flavour of what's coming up..

Author, poet and lecturer Fergus Hogan has brought out an anthology of his poems, entitled The Bittern Cry. It recently had a launch at The Book Centre in Waterford City. Fergus joined me On the Fringe to talk about what inspired this collection, and he also treated us to a reading from the book..

There are free events all year around at the 12 branches of Waterford Libraries, and Christmas is no exception. Tracy McEneaney joined me to give details of Family Time, running in the month of December, as well as a few other festive events..
