I thought I’d offer a brief post about my interest in and love for Ireland considering I’m now an Examiner on this topic. My story is no different or more extraordinary than that of most Americans of Irish descent, though I do consider my heritage as a point of solidarity on my quest as a writer. After all, the locals surely pee on the Blarney Stone, but I’ve been doing pretty well with this writing stuff ever since I kissed it. Stay tuned for more topics of Irish interest.
Please leave a note if you’re looking to connect on matters of heritage. My particular interest involves the way many of us American Irish describe ourselves as simply “Irish” and whether that really applies. I’m certainly looking to interview people on this topic.
