REVIEW - MOTHER AMERICA

It's a mini review explosion - writer Lane Ashfeldt has reviewed Mother America today on her blog Lane 7. She says: 'The picture of motherhood painted by Ní Chonchúir is never rose-tinted — she has a knack for uncovering the little awkwardnesses of everyday life, and the larger ones too — and yet it is not overly bleak either. The blood, sweat and tears in these stories is the stuff of motherhood...'

NUDE IN REVIEW #5

Later on today, I am at Eimear's blog (as mentioned previously) for an interview about my short fiction collection Nude. I'll post again to direct you there.

Coincidentally, two other Nude related things have also just occurred:

1. Lane Ashfeldt writer and editor at Pulp (which is currently on a break) has put a mini review on her site here.

2. Irish writer Ethel Rohan who lives in San Francisco has written a very moving piece called 'Nude: A Personal Essay' here.

Neither piece is very long, both are worth reading. Thanks Lane and Ethel.
