<p>Thanks for all the great compliments folks. Very nice of you all. We still have a few more Irishtown blogs to cover over the next few weeks, so stay tuned.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Remember, in March of next year we'll have the publication of Light of the Diddicoy. St. Patrick's Day actually. I just got an email from TJ English, who wrote the great Irish American book "Paddy Whacked" and "The Westies" and is also president of the Irish American Writers & Artists Inc. He gave the book a blurb. Here's a small part of it:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">"<span>Gangsters and dock wallopers along the Brooklyn waterfront intermingle with dirty cops, labor rabble rousers and the unwashed masses of an Irish immigrant class bursting with pluck and vitality… Light of the Diddcoy is written with tremendous flavor and panache."</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Peter Quinn (Banished Children of Eve), Malachy & Alphie McCourt and others have written about it too! </span></p>

I am so fascinated with your writings. My grandpa's sister lived in Brooklyn after arriving from Ireland. I have been trying to find out more about her. Just reading about what Brooklyn was like gives me more incite to how hard life was. Thanks for these great articles.
