I’ll be chatting with Nicole Flattery about her short story and novel writing and asking why she has become one of Ireland’s most talented and celebrated authors. We’ll be taking a journey through her writing life, discussing her short story collection ‘Show Them A Good Time’ and her novel ‘Nothing Special’.
