In fact, a certain newspaper in a certain city in the Mid-Atlantic region has commissioned a female crime author to write a weekly column. The column's title?

As for it being an Irish phenomenon - it's big in the UK too, but I don't know if it translates anywhere else. And I really don't care. I got halfway down the page of one of those books, only for the heroine to ask a question 'questioningly' ... Personally, I blame the editors.

What a nice gig he's got. Sketch out a story, get some Joe to flesh it all out. <BR/><BR/>I remember reading a book of his where they found some bird children who had wings and laid eggs. He must be laughing all the way to the bank.<BR/><BR/>As for Cecilia - Ireland really does have a massive chick-lit market. Is this an Irish phenomenon or is it the same in other countries?Twenty Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371000451615091448noreply@blogger.com
