Lucy Kennedy
Lucy Kennedy is a powerhouse on the Irish entertainment scene.
From her debut on RTE television, through her candid interviews on Living with Lucy, which has been running for nine years, as well as the Lucy Kennedy Show, she has forged a career in radio, television, social media and books. She currently co-presents the breakfast show on Classic Hits FM with Colm Hayes and has a massive listenership.
Writing has always been Lucy's passion and six years ago, she embarked on the hugely successful Friendship Fairies series for children. Seven novels in, the series regularly tops the bestseller lists. She has no plans to stop writing about the adventures of Emme, Holly and Jess.
The beginning of her second children’s book series, Under the Floorboards of 39A, featuring Joey and Freddie O’Brien, nine-year-old twin elves who get up to all sorts of mischief together, was published by Gill in February 2026
Lucy’s much-anticipated debut novel for adults, The Mini Breakers was published by Bonnier/Eriu on the 30th April 2026. A warm, sharp, wickedly funny story about the friendships of five women and one annual holiday that promises escape, connection and chaos in equal measure.
Praise for The Mini Breakers
“Fresh, fun and thoroughly enjoyable!”
Sinéad Moriarty
“An often hilarious but heartfelt look at female friendship, with sharply observed characters pitched against the backdrop of the midlife pressures to balance home, career and protein goals”
