I have a female acquaintance that is a missionary in the middle east, her perspective is quite amazing and her stories are always interesting. <br /><br />I bet that is fustrating. I bet you meet some interesting people that way too.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-91980613823629702792011-04-07T19:38:52.758-05:002011-04-07T19:38:52.758-05:00Well, Glenna, I predict that at some point you wil...Well, Glenna, I predict that at some point you will be. Especially if you do manage to get to Ireland, because those are people who do love their history. Every sad and tortured last bit of it. They will show you the bullet holes in the post office walls in Dublin if you even look like you're interested. <br /><br />But no, I really meant how did it come to pass that working in a bookstore, people are always raving about the latest new thing and inevitably when they get around to asking me what I'm reading, I have to say, "Oh, I'm reading this great Irish crime novel, but sorry, you can't buy it here, because it's out of print/not published in the U.S...Of course it's not always true, but it's been true a time or two to many. Not just Falling Glass, but any of Declan's books now, that Requiem for the Departed anthology, and so on.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-89333968160907934332011-04-07T18:04:00.107-05:002011-04-07T18:04:00.107-05:00Seana, you mean what lead up to such good authors ...Seana, you mean what lead up to such good authors coming out of the woodwork? <br /><br />I often wish I was interested enough in history to go through the trouble to find out. Although, I admit, some of the stuff Adrian puts in his books has gotten me a bit curious.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-46876537940943074462011-04-07T17:11:12.096-05:002011-04-07T17:11:12.096-05:00Well, the director couldn't be a slouch, but I...Well, the director couldn't be a slouch, but I think it would make a great movie in the right hands and with the right cast. Shoulda been Colin Farrell playing MF, but he's a bit long in the tooth now.<br /><br />I'm with you guys on the Irish crime fiction. Although lately, as I post review after review of yet another great Irish crime book, I wonder exactly how it all came to this...seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-70200917737103455602011-04-07T17:03:54.962-05:002011-04-07T17:03:54.962-05:00That's a nice find Sean.

I see there is a Kindle double feature with TGOB and Collusion for the same download on Amazon.<br /><br />RE: Adrian's comment "if there's demand I'll get a US publisher eventually??"

Getting away from the American best seller status quo has been part of what's made reading such an enjoyable hobby. <br /><br />I can't believe you've resisted Collusion so long.

Your endorsement is what originally sold me on it. Not that I needed any motivation. I'll always remember last year when I read Ghosts of Belfast and right after that Dead I Well May Be. It was one of those moments where I was like WOW, this is what it's all about, what I 'd be searching for, in literature at least. Now, I'll read "Collusion" after "FG"...try to recapture that magic.<br /><br />Love the new blog look!Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-29766288063912615842011-04-06T22:19:40.441-05:002011-04-06T22:19:40.441-05:00Seana, yeah, if only.Seana, yeah, if only.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-33489239143663084552011-04-06T22:18:44.287-05:002011-04-06T22:18:44.287-05:00Here's to hoping Adrian.Here's to hoping Adrian.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-55425829206005782702011-04-06T21:45:57.504-05:002011-04-06T21:45:57.504-05:00Way to get the word out, Glenna, and thanks for th...Way to get the word out, Glenna, and thanks for the linkage.
