Zara Keane answered Eileen Keane's question: Hi Zara, This isn't a writing question, it's a family question. My husband's family is from County Clare, do you have any family there? I know Keane is one of the most common surnames in Ireland, but I'm curious. Thanks! Hi Eileen, Keane is my pen name, but it's also a family name on my grandfather's side. Most of my family is from Kerry, but some from Clare. I grew up in Dublin, though. :) Zara
