Everything in Northern Ireland is ‘wee.’
Would you like a wee cup of tea?
Do you know the wee woman who lives down the street?
You know that wee ship, The Titanic? It was built in Belfast.
It’s one of our ‘thangs,’ it’s what we do, no doubt bewildering visitors to our fair land in the process. Well, I’ve written a wee book. And by wee, I mean it’s 350 pages long and part of a proposed trilogy. A wee trilogy. I’ve also started Book 2, but it might take me a while to write it. Etc, etc. It’s called ‘The Kirkwood Scott Chronicles: Skelly’s Square,’ and is set in modern day Belfast. Apart from the bits at the Battle of Waterloo and in parallel universes.
I’ve been told it’s quite good. Don’t believe me? Then feel free to visit Amazon and read the reviews, where it’s available to buy in e book and paperback format. If you enjoy the blog then this might be the read for you, if you’re into supernatural beings battling for control of the cosmos on the back streets of my wee city. Can our rag tag heroes Kirkwood, Meredith and Harley stop them? Well, you’ll need to read the book to find that out.
Thank you. I appreciate all the support I’ve received so far.

A well loved friend who spent some time in Co Cork, will say things like “She has a wee bit of appendicitis.” I think it’s just one of the wonderful linguistic twists that make language so fun. For the record, this American understood all of the colloquialisms and such. That’s how good a teller of tales you are.

Why, thank you very much. I was a bit concerned the humour wouldn’t travel.

I just got a confirmation email that it just shipped…can’t wait to read it in a “wee” bit!
Funny fact: I just found out that Northern Ireland is an entirely different country that Ireland! What! Who knew?!? Apparently I didn’t listen very closely in geography…

Wow. Thank you. I hope you enjoy it. Yes, two countries, one island. Although it’s a touchy subject for a lot of people living here.
