I have read all of your books and have loved each one. I reccomend them to all of my friends and library friends...I have been to Ireland many times and hope to return again. My Greatgrandfather owned the Grand Hotel in Tramore, Co. Waterford - right on the strand.....

My first book was about the adult Italian class studing to go to Italy. I received this book and "Echoes" from a good friend who had about a foot of water in her home post "Katrina". She has her home back to normal now and will celebrate a first Christmas since "Katrina" with her Family in her now refurbished home. My Children and I will travel to Ireland in late March next year. Keep up the GREAT writing!!!!!

Wonderful story teller, takes the time to develop her characters. I always look forward to reading her books, sometimes, I think I have a half an hour, and find myself so interested in the story the places and the characters, that 2 hours go by. Look forward to reading all her books.

I have been a devoted reader and collector of your books since I first read "Light a Penny Candle" in 1982. I have first editions of all your published books and am anxiously awaiting a new novel from your pen and imagination. Please keep well and please keep writing your marvelous stories of hope, courage and joy of life! Oh , and many thanks for many hours of pure enjoyment.
