Published in April, 2025, this collection comprises six previously unpublished stories from six emerging Irish writers, each voice echoing from a moment in time over the course of six decades.  Stories woven together from common threads: a priest, a house, the wild and windswept north west coast of Ireland. The kind of place where anything can happen. Each story stands alone, speaks from the heart of individual characters who at times struggle to make sense of the world. The Decades speaks too of those who make an impact without always knowing.

The AdNibs Collective comprises authors Conor Clohessy, Seán Coffey, Sharon Guard, Geraldine O’Sullivan, Sarah Lou Ryan and Máirín Stronge.

The Decades launches in Athlone on 8th April 2025 at the Dean Crowe Theatre Bar, and in Dublin at The Coliemore in Dalkey on 16th April 2025.  See blog for more details.

The Decades will be available to buy or order from Irish bookshops, and online from book sales outlets internationally.  Check back soon for sales links.
