Summer has truly arrived and we at Transworld Ireland hope you're enjoying the sun. Sit back and enjoy some great new reads!

Amanda Brunker's latest, Champagne Secrets, is out now, and Eva Valentine is up to her old tricks again. She has been offered the chance of a lifetime: a new job as an undercover TV reporter, but she soon gets herself in hot water. Also just out is the paperback edition of Amanda's Champagne Babes, another sassy, sexy, uproarious page-turner.

Summer is also World Cup time, and we have the perfect companion for the footie: the hugely entertaining The World is a Ball by John Doyle, the travelogue of a football fanatic, which Declan Kiberd describes as "a witty and honest hymn to soccer".

We are delighted that former Clare hurling All Star Tony Griffin's Screaming at the Sky recently hit the number one spot in the non-fiction bestsellers. Screaming at the Sky is the powerful, beautifully written account of four turbulent years in Tony's life. Intensely moving, and with a foreword by Lance Armstrong, this is a hugely inspirational read.

Also published is the paperback of what Tim Pat Coogan has called 'a serious contribution to contemporary Irish political history', the candid and refreshingly honest bestselling autobiography of former Taoiseach, Albert Reynolds.

Niamh O'Connor's debut novel, If I Never See You Again, showcases an exceptional new talent in crime fiction. Niamh is the crime correspondent at the Sunday World and the bestselling author of a number of true crime books, and in this exciting novel she introduces us to a great new character, Detective Inspector Jo Birmingham. Jo is streetwise, spiky and scrappy as hell!

Another must for crime fiction fans is the latest from Ken Bruen, The Devil, which sees perennial detective PI Jack Taylor meet his nemesis. For those who prefer their books with a warm heart, Liz Lyons's family drama, Come This Way Home, is a story of long-hidden secrets and sibling rivalries which ultimately shows that love and life are all about losing, yearning for and ultimately finding a place called home.

Transworld Ireland's fiction authors have had a great year, with bestsellers from Marita Conlon McKenna (Mother Of The Bride), Anita Notaro (No Ordinary Love) and of course the incomparable Patricia Scanlan (Happy Ever After). In addition, we're delighted that Patricia's Forgive and Forget was recently nominated as one of the Irish Book Awards "50 Books of the Decade". Congratulations to Patricia!
