“As Álanna Hammel marked her 21st birthday, she reflected on her life in Wexford to date with the launch of her new book ‘When I Grow Up, I Want to Be...’ at Red Books Wexford on Saturday night.
Launched just months after the release of Kilmuckridge writer’s first book ‘Cruel and Vicious’, Álanna’s latest book delves into some of her formative experiences, from a childhood injury to leaving her home of Wexford to attend college in Dublin. While the book came together quickly, the stories have been many years in the making as they were written at different stages in Álanna’s life.” - Gorey Guardin
