About the Author
To write his debut novel I’m Not Saying It, Eoin Brady moved out to the isolated Irish island of Inis Meáin, the setting for his story.
Now published, he lives along The Wild Atlantic Way, in the more populated town of Westport, while dreaming of where following stories will take him next. He lives with Inspector Poirot the cat and a house plant called ‘When did I Last Water You?’
He is currently working on the second instalment of I’m Not Saying It – a series that follows a travel blogger with a romantic side and a fear of commitment.

To my parents. If this book does well, I may be able to put a dint in the nappy debt that you’ve held over me these many years. I’ve got you covered for those adult diapers.
Manon, you cried in all the right places while reading this. Your anguish let me know that I was on the right track.
Thank you to my beta-readers Ava Murray and Emma Renshaw.
Special thanks to Marie-Thérèse and Ruairí de Blacam, creators of Inis Meáin Restaurant and Suites. I put it best on my last day there, after a few rounds in the pub; ‘you are no longer my bosses, you are my friends.’
