Irish Fest Milwaukee
On my way from Three Lakes, Wisconsin to Milwaukee for Irish Fest. Had a wonderful family reunion on our beautiful Medicine Lake in Three Lakes. Thought how pleased Honora would be to see her great great great great grandchildren splashing in the clear water. A touch of Galway Bay. Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, Honora's grandson and a featured character in the sequel I'm working on called "Kelly Green", had a house in Eagle River, WI. I plan to set some scenes there so am doing research.
I'll be doing events in October and November. So please watch this space. Hope to see some of you in Milwaukee! I'm in the vendors tent with The Irish Boutique aka Paddy on the Square from Long Grove, Ill. signing books. What great supporters of Galway Bay. I think they have sold over 700 copies! And in February the trade paperback is due. I'm on the bus going south on Route 51. Wisconsin is almost as green as Ireland!! Slainte!!!!

I am at the halfway mark in Galway Bay- purposely reading so slowly. It's a remarkable book. I've just read the part where Michael dies. I cried like a baby.I ache for Honora and her children.The hunger that you describe is palpable. I think of it every time we sit down now for dinner. I would like to know if the ends that families in your story resorted to to stay alive are true- bleeding the horse to add to the pot of water for some protein for instance. You are an amazing writer!
