IRISH pharmacy boss, Colin Deeny, is developing a side-hustle as a children's author, self-publishing his fifth book.
Deeny's latest tale, Delaney's Donkey, is based on a song of the same name that he loved as a child, the Derry Journal reported.
The book tells the story of Delaney, his stubborn donkey, their friend, Riley, and a money-making scheme.
"The song about the donkey stuck in my head and I've always remembered it," Deeny said.
"The song itself has one story and I tried to involve another story in the process as well.
"We have these two fellas and one of them is a bit lazy."
Deeny has eschewed traditional bookshops, instead selling the book at Inish Pharmacy in Inishowen, Donegal, where he is Managing Director.
The book can also be purchased through the pharmacy's website, where it has yet to be listed as a 'best seller' alongside products such as Viagra Connect.
