Some distorted images, taken on my 'phone from the screen, of Cait on Irish tv tonight.

I only made notes about the discussion of my cousin's book.
[b]Hugh Linehan [/b]was ' unconvinced' by Orfhlaith, [b]Cait O'Riordan [/b]found her stories ' frustrating....bitty....all surface...scraps all bundled together' but accepted John Kelly's comment that she doesn't like short stories . [b]Declan Long [/b]was full of praise, describing O. as a 'forensic scientist of touch' and referred to the stories many locations and themes as a 'genre collision'. O. read from ' Fairy Tales'.

It should all be viewable on the shows site.

Thanks for buying the books!

Thanks for the heads up John .
Always a joy to see Cait on The View.
Just put an order in at Amazon for Red Riding Hood's Dilemma and Belios .
