Colin Morgan grew up in Northern Ireland, a boy with an instinctive love for stories: hearing them, telling them, writing them, performing them. As an adult he counts himself very lucky that not much has changed, finding himself on stage, in front of a camera, before a microphone or with pen in hand, storytelling. The Ballad Of Ronan McCoy is his debut novel.
‘Written with exquisite tenderness, wisdom and heart, this is a truly impressive debut. A rhapsody and requiem for adolescent innocence, told with sharp intelligence and a compassionate Irish wit. The steel-hooped bonds of youthful friendship, and adolescent love are indelible in vivid characters that ache with human-ness. This is a painfully optimistic book that does the favour of making you laugh as it breaks your heart’ Kenneth Branagh 'A tender, elegant novel about the beauty and importance of friendship. Colin Morgan’s debut is one of the most moving books I’ve read in some time' John Boyne 'Soaring, lyrical and heart-breaking. A tender and important new voice in Irish writing' Michelle Gallen 'A fresh and authentic voice is found in this impressive and original debut about grief, loss and the enduring power of love' Christine Dwyer Hickey
