BOYNE BERRIES 7

Boyne Berries 7 was launched last week in Trim. There was a big turn out and twenty contributers read, I was delighted to have my prose piece, Lady Slice published in this edition of the magazine. I was really struck by Aideen Henry's prose piece and how she read. There's a lot of variety in this issue, extracts can be read at http://www.boynewriters.com/mag
