Since leaving university, Barbara has worked full-time in admin — fitting writing in during evenings and at weekends. 'That gave me the luxury of a regular income,' she says. Fifteen years ago, Barbara joined a creative writing class in the College of Commerce in Cork, and, receiving encouragement, moved on to the Munster Literature Centre. 'I met other writers there, including Danielle McLaughlin.' We set up our own writing group and have been meeting every two weeks for the past 14 years. She started with short stories, with some success at competitions. 'A couple of stories were broadcast through the Francis McManus Award,' she says, 'but I always wanted to write a novel. During covid, I thought, 'It's now or never.'' Barbara met her agent, Ger Nichol, and publisher, Deirdre Nolan, at the final of the Irish Writers Centre Novel Fair in 2023. Who is Barbara Leahy? Place of Birth: Cork Education: Regina Mundi College in Douglas; University College Cork, BA in English and Mathematical Studies, and MA in English. Home: Cork — 'I live 10 minutes from my childhood home.' Family: Mother, three brothers. 'Dad died in 2018.' The day job: Insurance admin In another life: 'I'd be a museum curator. I love the power of everyday objects to connect us with the past.' Favourite writers: Danielle McLaughlin; Jean Rhys; Hilary Mantel; Maggie O'Farrell; Daphne Du Maurier. Second book: 'It's with my agent.' Top tip: 'Do it now. The conditions are always impossible. You have to start and keep going.' Instagram: @barbaraleahywriter The debut Rembrandt's Promise Eriu: €16.99 An impoverished widow, Geertje is a nursemaid in Rembrandt's house; and when his wife dies, she becomes his mistress. Will he keep his promise to her? 'I always loved Rembrandt's story,' says Barbara. 'It was in the bookcase at home. 'And later, when I discovered he lived with another woman for seven years, I really wanted to tell her story. 'She was illiterate and had no way of speaking up.' The verdict: Wonderfully researched and beautifully written.

Read More in Showbiz He told Jeremy told the outlet: "The disruption's enormous, because you aren't allowed to operate as a business. "You have to isolate them for two months. So all the barns we needed to store the grain in, we now have to convert into a cow hospital. "We've got another calf with pneumonia, so that needs to be housed. Most read in Showbiz "And we can't buy or sell a cow now because the farm officially, you know, has TB.' But in some good news for fans, he said the farm shop would remain open and unaffected. Clarkson said reports that his farm was shut were 'ridiculous'. Jeremy Clarkson 'absolutely devastated' after latest blow to Diddly Squat farm 'We're trying to carry on with the harvest and everything, but TB focuses the mind,' he said. It comes after the Sun columnist revealed in another blow that his puppy died hours after he was handed the heartbreaking news about his farm. The devastated farmer told how He is also trying to care for a "very sickly calf". The Top Gear icon revealed he is not enjoying his new profession this week. And on Sunday, Jeremy revealed his red Labrador Arya had given birth to 11 puppies. He and his wife Lisa Hogan acted as midwives for the adorable pups while the Meanwhile, on the latest series of his Amazon Prime show, Jeremy revealed how endless rain had sparked chaos on the farm last year. The Diddly Squat Farm Shop's Instagram page wrote: "It's going to be a rough year. All that seed sowed, drowned with the constant rain." What is bovine TB? Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease of cattle and badgers. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) which can also infect and cause disease in many other mammals including humans, deer, goats, pigs, cats, dogs and badgers. In cattle, it is mainly a respiratory disease. What are the symptoms? It is hard to spot bovine TB as the signs are similar to other diseases and normally only develop in the advanced stages. It is normally picked up in cattle testing before clinical signs develop or during inspections of slaughtered cattle. Animals can get thinner, have a light fever that keeps coming back, appear weak and have a reduced appetite. Some will also have swollen lymph nodes, in the neck and a moist cough which is worse in the morning and during cold weather or exercise. The government states it may cause chronic mastitis, an infection of the udder. How is transferred between animals? Evidence of bovine TB is most commonly found in the lymph glands of throat and lungs of affected animals. They spread the disease mainly through coughing and sneezing. Bacteria are released into the air and inhaled by other animals in close contact. The disease can pass from badgers to cattle via close contact - and vice versa. Contaminated equipment, animal waste, feed and pasture can also transfer the infection. Can humans catch it from cattle? Humans can catch bovine TB through: unpasteurised milk or dairy products from an infected cow, buffalo, goat or sheep inhaling bacteria breathed out by infected animals inhaling bacteria released from the carcasses of infected animals or from their excretions (such as faeces) Infection is more likely if an unprotected wound is exposed to bacteria from an infected animal. But the government insists the risk of infection is very low for the vast majority of the population. Symptoms are similar to human TB, including weight loss, fever, night sweats and a persistent cough. Anyone who develops these symptoms should consult a doctor. The disease can be treated by a complex combination of drugs over a long period. And Clarkson's right-hand man The farmer turned TV hero, 27, told fans his pricey post knocker, used for hammering in fences, had been stolen on Tuesday.

Hilariously, the farmers switched up the words to sing: "F*** me it's good".
