I've taken the unusual step of placing a citation needed tag on the article name as elaborated in the lede, as all sources used, and others checked, refer only to either the "crime writer name" - simply Alex Barclay - or the "magazine writer pseudonym" Yve Williams - so while Eve may be the real first name, this lacks evidence. I hope someone can uncover some, or it will have to come out. I also hope that an author very active on the bookshop and event trail will have had an image captured which would enhance the article, as would just a little more personal context (I will add the Beara peninsula later, when I recover the reference for that). As far as publications go, this seems up to date, as although a book was apparently in full outline as of later 2016, I can find no trace of publication.SeoR (talk) 14:10, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above question is now resolved - it was a poor article start (Eve Barclay seems to have had no traceable basis) but is now accurate and cited. As to categories, I am of two minds about Bayside, Dublin and Beara Peninsula, as I am not sure the public associations are strong enough.SeoR (talk) 20:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good on ya. As far as I remember, mind you, Williams is her married name, she was originally something like Byrne or Byrnes. Maybe the old school website can help with that.178.176.23.66 (talk) 11:39, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. I don't know, but given the data on names in two references, unless there was a coincidence, this is indeed a marital surname.SeoR (talk) 12:13, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Father was Byrnes, mother Morris, or something like that.178.176.23.66 (talk) 11:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, and with the Brian Williams elaboration just tagged, I think the light dawns. A fashion editor Yve Morris, once rather visible on the Dublin social scene, wrote about her wedding preparations with the U2-linked designer in a series in one of the glossy magazines long ago. I would not have connected the profiles, so thank you, anon. IP. This will require citation from a magazine or newspaper of the period, probably requiring paper archive access (Sunday Indo., Irish Tatler, maybe U), so for early next week.SeoR (talk) 00:15, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Article lacks details on the new book, a psychological thriller I remember hearing on the radio, and there were the promises to come back to the first character, and for that matter, Ren Bryce's story is far from over... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.248.140.17 (talk) 16:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There was an announcement 29 July about this book, set on an analogue of the Beara, and a launch event 2 August at Liss Ard. 195.91.214.78 (talk) 23:25, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks guys, got that new book, and this article was interesting background - the book was set on Beara. I had no idea the name was a pseudonym. You could say more about event appearances, I saw them with the author who writes as Sam Blake twice, for example. Was there not a short film by this author too, something about 1916? And they moved to a new agent for this coming teen book. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.104.4.233 (talk) 11:35, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
