Under The Rainbow Under The Rainbow will shortly be winging its way to the printers and will be published at the end of March 2010. As usual, I feel sad when I come to the end of writing a book. Over the course of creating a novel you get to know the characters very intimately.Because I wrote Under The Rainbow in the first person, I felt especially close to Adele, the main character. However when their fictional lives are bound between the covers of a book it is time to say goodbye to my fictional friends. That never stops me wondering how the characters are getting on and how the rest of their lives are turning out. The only cure is to start writing a new book and that's what I'm up to now. Interesting Times Recession has long since sunk to Depression here in Ireland. We have a mournful streak in our genes which eulogises disaster but the past few months has provided even us Irish with more than enough material to keep us lamenting for a long time to come. Our economy has gone disastrously wrong. The blame game is underway as dole queues lengthen and homes are re-possessed. Some point out that we are still a wealthy country. Of course we are when compared to the abject poverty of third world nations. That fact does not lessen the suffering of people who are losing their jobs and homes. To make matters worse Summer did not happen on the Emerald Isle. It took a detour around the Jet Stream and left us with appropriately grey skies. All we are left with now is the hope that lessons , economic and political , have been learned and that , next Summer , the sun will again shine on this most beautiful of islands. YouTube We recently captured on video a frantic feeding frenzy by a flock of starlings on the birdtable in our garden. Below is the link to YouTube where you can see and hear genuine tweeting ! http://www.youtube.com/authorosullivan http://www.twitter.com/authorosullivan Inside Out - now available in paperback  I'd like to thank the many readers who bought and read Inside Out , especially those of you who contacted me with your comments. Your support is very much appreciated. The characters in Inside Out will always have a special place in my heart , as all my characters do. I hope you find the same pleasure in their company as I did.  I am very pleased to say that Susan and Paul Feldstein of the Feldstein Literary Agency in Bangor have agreed to represent my work. I look forward to working with them . See their website at www.thefeldsteinagency.co.uk |
