McGuinness Books have now published Fran's new book THE RED CARPET and all five books are available. If anyone would like to obtain a copy of one or more of the books, just go to our online purchase page at -www.franobrien.net.

Fran and Arthur will be selling all of Fran's books at the following exhibition shows in 2012 - Holiday World Show - RDS - January 2012 Ideal Homes - RDS - Spring April 2012 We will add in the other bookings for 2012 as soon as they are confirmed. All proceeds from all of Fran's books continue to be donated to LauraLynn House Children's Hospice which has now opened. To see LauraLynn House actually established in memory of Laura and Lynn is a dream come true for Jane and Brendan. And a wonderful facility for families and seriously ill children.

The total raised has now increased to €140,000.00 with sales of THE RED CARPET. Hopefully there will be many new people who will want to read one of the books and enjoy them too.

There will be a new book launched later in 2012 and this will also continue to raise funds for LauraLynn House.

Once again, a very special thank you to CYCLONE COURIERS who continue to support LAURALYNN HOUSE by storing our books, and also delivering them all over the country free of charge. We appreciate their help enormously. Also thanks to our printers Martone Press, Lucan, who really go out of their way to help get the books to print. Martin and Yvonne are exceptional people and we are very grateful to them.
