With St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, let’s celebrate the wonderful tradition of Irish storytelling. Ireland has produced some incredible writers over the years—authors who know how to weave humor, heart, and just the right touch of mystery into their tales.
So today I thought I’d share a few Irish popular authors … and a little bookish news of my own.
Lucky for us, Ireland truly has a gift for storytelling—and mysteries in particular!
If you’re looking for something new to read, here are just a few fantastic Irish writers worth exploring:
Maeve Binchy – A beloved storyteller whose novels capture small-town life, relationships, and the warmth of Irish communities.
James Joyce – One of Ireland’s most famous literary voices, whose work continues to influence writers around the world.
Tana French – Known for atmospheric mysteries set in Dublin, her books are gripping, character-driven, and full of twists. One of my favorites is The Searcher.
Since we’re still in the middle of March, if you’re in the mood to get cozy with a fun whodunit this week, I’ve got a little treat.
Book 1 in my cozy mystery series — A Whale of a Murder: A Venus Bixby Mystery — is currently just 99¢ for a limited time.
Inside you’ll find:
· An amateur sleuth who stumbles her way through life
· A murder that shakes up a charming whaling town
· A playlist to enhance your reading pleasure
If you enjoy cozy mysteries filled with quirky characters and puzzling secrets, A Whale of a Murder might be the perfect book to nestle down with this week.

And now for something I’m excited to share…
The third book in the series has a St. Patrick’s Day twist, and today I’m revealing the cover of A Jewel of a Crime: A Venus Bixby Mystery!
This story brings our favorite characters back just as Chatham Crossing prepares for its St. Paddy’s festivities—but when an inconvenient corpse and a string of burglaries rock the town, Venus Bixby will have to uncover the truth before her luck runs out.
Release details and more sneak peeks will be coming soon! Yet the Kindle preorder is available right now!
Quick question for you:
Wishing you a cozy, book-filled St. Patrick’s Day! May your drink of choice warm you up, your mysteries twisty, and your reading pile full of good stories.
Warmly,
Valerie
