Rónán Hession, also known as the Dublin-based songwriter Mumblin' Deaf Ro, will be releasing a book in March through UK publisher Bluemoose Books. 

Leonard and Hungry Paul is about how ordinary people who appreciate the things in life that often go unnoticed can change the world. It follows two friends with unique perspectives on their quest to find their place in an increasingly complex and hectic world.

Hession, whose third and latest album Dictionary Crimes received a nomination for the Choice Music Prize, has published short stories in several publications, including The Honest Ulsterman and The Bohemyth.

Leonard and Hungry Paul is Hession's debut novel and will arrive on March 20, 2019.
