<p>Murphy is a rather large family but I would like to think that maybe we are distant cousins too. My grand da (a police officer) always had a grand story to tell and when my grand mother would try to interject some facts my grand da would say that this Murphy family had a long history as seanachie's (story tellers) and the story was always told they way it was told on that particular evening and could change if the situation would warrant it. That usually ended the discussion, not that my…</p>

That usually ended the discussion, not that my grand mother thought that he had won, but simply put, she liked his stories but loved seeing a vein in his forehead throb a wee bit ! ;-) Slainte </p> I also have cousins with the…tag:thewildgeese.irish,2017-07-31:6442157:Comment:2206112017-07-31T23:25:34.801ZClaire Fullertonhttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/ClaireFullerton
<p>I also have cousins with the surname Murphy. Coincidence? Be sure to order this book from O'Brien's Press.org before you go on vacation! I'd love to hear your review.</p>

<p>My Uncle and some of my cousins (the Murphy side of the family) are morticians, but I don't think this is the type of Dead House the book is about. And I will be going on a wee vacation and this looks like a good read to bring along when I have had all the conversation I can take with family members. If I have a good book and my guitar I am always in a grand place where the craic is ninety! Slainte</p>

<p>Now this is funny! And yes, there's not an author on the planet who doesn't know their way around the dog-and-pony business of sales. But, Richard, do read The Dead House. I'm convinced Billy O'Callaghan is one of the most important literary figures to arrive on the world stage in ages. </p>

<p>Aye, Claire's reviews give one no pause to go about purchasing this book,... Claire have you ever tried sales ??Jakkers colleen you could sell water to a drowning man. ;-) Slainte</p>

<p>Thank you, Fran! Yes, I've been very busy, as I'm writing my 4th novel, and waiting for the 2018 release of my third, which means soon enough, I'll be in edits. But I always think of TWG, and hope you read this book by O'Callaghan. It's my suspicion he'll be the next literary sensation to come out of Ireland, mark my words. He's currently winning one literary award after another. Pretty good, for a man from Cork! Slainte! </p>
