Hot Press books launch with One Productions radio ads
Congratulations to Hot Press magazine on the publication of two new ground breaking and provocative books. |
Diary Of A Man is a searingly honest book that takes us closer to the truth about ourselves than we have ever come before.
"This book floored me. It is extraordinary"
– Terry Prone
A new kind of work, in which the self is revealed layer by layer till we feel that we know the writer intimately, Diary Of A Man is a bewitching collage of diary entries-cum-essays reflecting, with wit, gusto and extraordinary insight on all of the big themes.
No subject is too tough, too raw to deal with – from pedophilia, through depression and suicide to so-called bug-chasing; from orgies, through S&M and internet sex to the mysteries of falling in love; from childhood needs through teenage alienation to adult independence and the need for human warmth, Diary Of A Man goes beyond taboo to deliver an achingly personal and utterly compelling appeal from the interpersonal frontlines.
With London as its tangled backdrop, it is a wonderfully open, uninhibited, sexually driven and finely written account of one person’s journey through the myriad attractions and pitfalls of being a free agent in contemporary society.
Written by Dermod Moore, a Dublin-born and London-based psychotherapist, astrologer, actor and writer, and a co-founder of the first Irish gay youth group, DIARY OF A MAN is an essential window on our 21st century world. Courageously exploring the needs that drive us, the choices we make and the yearning for truth, beauty and wisdom that is at the heart of our collective journey, it is a book to savour – and to treasure.
"Diary of a Man" is available now in all good bookstores, or may be purchased online by clicking here.

An electrifying new novel by one of the brightest stars of Irish fiction, Declan Lynch, The Rooms brings you inside the biggest secret organisation in the
world ...
“A tough-minded, richly enjoyable and unflinchingly truthful book.”
– Fintan O’Toole, Irish Times
“The best writing on alcoholism since Bill Wilson wrote the Big Book.”
– John Waters, author "Jiving At The Crossroads"
Written through the eyes and the voice of an Irish musician, the wise and
embattled Neil, it is a sustained and brilliant exercise in narrative fiction,
that takes the reader on an emotionally charged white-knuckle ride, across the country and back. And right to the heart of the human condition...
But The Rooms is also a love story. As the beautiful and enigmatic, Jamaica, a
rising star of the fashion world, bewitches the narrator with her soft skin and
sexual candour, we are taken with him on a dramatic and unpredictable journey that brings us face-to-face with a life-altering truth. Or is it the truth at all?
Never before has the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous been described in
such fine and compelling detail.
Delivered in a marvellously direct and wonderfully readable style, The Rooms is at once powerful, moving and deeply revealing. In the doomy, wise-cracking Neil, it introduces a new kind of anti-hero to the pantheon of Irish fiction. One that you will never forget...
"The Rooms" is available in all good bookstores now, or may be purchased online by clicking here.
