I love reading things like this - it's so thrilling to discover new facts and things I didn't know about people.<br /><br />I'm a fellow campaigner in the mainstream/ contemporary category. I’m chagrined it's taken me so long to get over here - my last post leaned more towards fantasy/YA - that's what I'm writing at the moment. <br />But my first book that I'm going to be querying as soon as beta readers go over it once more is mainstream - I think. I'm having trouble figuring out for sure where it belongs! It's not a specific genre. I'm so glad to meet you.<br /><br />I love your quote from James Dickey - fantastic!Brenda Sillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702163304597782659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-83950619383693981682011-09-20T12:19:08.310-05:002011-09-20T12:19:08.310-05:00Thanks for this piece of history.

Grace ...Fellow campaigner dropping by to say hello. Grace O'Malley's story offers fabulous fodder for historical fiction. I hope you're busy with Grace and her adventures. I've just signed a contract re a HF based in your country. It involves the Fitzgeralds in Kildare (1470). There's a 2nd to come and possibly a 3rd. Hmmm - I wonder if my characters will meet Grace. Anyway, nice to meet you - and your blog looks fabulous.
