Ruth Shaw began a blog, Ruthlace, in 2006 at the age of 82, in order to write about her life growing up in the 1920s and 1930s, the Great Depression, World War II, along with stories her own mother shared with her of earlier times.

: 'I have starved in some of the most beautiful places in the world ...' The Irish Times food writer Theodora FitzGibbon's bohemian appetite for love, pleasure, good food and adventure took her all over the globe until she died, in Dublin, in 1991. Her two-volume autobiography reveals a life fully lived: the names she used before settling on 'Theodora'; the cookery ons given to her by the former Queen Natalie of Serbia; the 1920s childhood spent on food-chomping travels with her rakish naval officer father in Europe, the Middle East and India. Paris in the 1930s was home to Theodora's struggles to maintain an independent life as a young actress, where she began an affair with photographer Peter Rose Pulham and kept company with Balthus, Cocteau, Dali and Picasso. She escaped wartime Paris to live in London during the Blitz and was friendly with Dylan and Caitlin Thomas, Augustus John, Francis Bacon, Shane Leslie and Soviet spy Donald Maclean.

She adopted Gwladys the penguin and Mouche the poodle.

She married Irish-American writer Constantine FitzGibbon in 1944 and divorced him fifteen famously stormy years later. In 1960 she married George Morrison, the film maker and archivist, and they lived together in Dalkey in the house with the 'sea at the bottom of the garden'. Be enthralled by the fascinating story behind the woman who broadened the culinary horizons of many people in Ireland and beyond. In this highly entertaining memoir, discover the sights, sounds and tastes of Theodora FitzGibbon - food writer, adventurer and thoroughly modern woman. 'Theodora FitzGibbon was the most extraordinary woman. If you read her autobiography you realise how many lives she led. And in fact how many people she was all rolled into one.' Maeve Binchy

In Dirty God: Jesus in the Trenches, Johnnie Moore draws on both Scripture and his extensive experience with other cultures and religions to show how the God of the Bible is unique in his willingness to be near us in all of our messiness. Moore outlines the central importance of the doctrine of grace while introducing readers to a humble and human Jesus who reaches out to us at our worst and pulls us up to our best. Grace, Moore argues, is something that is both gotten and given, and the two-part structure of the book allows readers to explore both of these dynamics. By offering hope rather than condemnation and showing the practical applications of grace in today’s world, Dirty God will appeal to both the committed Christian and the spiritual seeker looking for a more authentic faith. Challenging and engaging, Dirty God is sure to establish Johnnie Moore as an emerging voice for Millennial and Gen-X evangelicals for years to come.

என் கதைகள், உலகோடு நான் ஆடிய ப்கடையாட்டம்.தோற்ப்பதும் ஜெயிப்பதும் பற்றிய கவலையின்றி திரும்ப திரும்ப எதிர்பாராமையைச் சந்திக்கும் ஒரு தீறாவிளையாட்டு. ஏறும்புகள் இழுத்துக் கொண்டு போகும் வெல்லக்கட்டியை போல வெறியோடும் பேராசையோடும் உலகை எனது இருப்பிடத்துக்குள் இழுத்து கொண்டு வந்துவிட முயன்றதன் விளைவுதான் எனது எழுத்துக்கள். வாழ்க்கை பலரையும் அவரவர் இருப்பிடங்களில் இருந்து பிடுங்கி எங்கெங்கோ நட்டிருக்கிறது.

நினைவில் ஒரு ஊரும் , நிகழ்வில் ஒரு ஊரிலுமாக வசித்து கொண்டிருக்கிறோம் . நிலம் நம் மீது கொள்ளும் ஆளுமையை நாம் விரும்பினாலும் அழிக்க முடியாது. அது மேலொட்டமாக நம்முடைய பேச்சில்,தோற்றத்திலிருந்து மறைந்திருக்க கூடும். ஆனால் நம் இருப்பில், நம் நிலையில், நம் கனவுகளில் எப்போதும் இருந்துகொண்டேயிருக்கிறது. என் முதல் கதையிலிருந்து 2005 ஆம் ஆண்டுவரை வெளியான எனது சிறுகதைகளை உள்ளடக்கிய முழுத்தொகுப்பு இது.இதன் முதற்பதிப்பை கிழக்கு பதிப்பகம் வெளியிட்டது. இப்போது அதன் மறுபதிப்பை உயிர்மை வெளியிடுகிறது.
