Hi Michael, I love your story telling and enjoyed your books immensely during the covid lockdown. Many thanks. You seldom reference Irish traits to any of your characters. When you do however they are very un complementary.Is there a reason? Kind regards, Aideen

Hi Aiden, I had no idea I'd offended the Irish. I know that in some of my early books I had references to the IRA and one or two of my villains have had an Irish background. Then again, after eighteen books, I've had villains of various nationalities and genders. In the past I've been criticised for having a villain with a Jewish name, accused of pandering to stereotypes, which was never my intention. I have a quarter Irish blood in me and was raised a Roman Catholic, and have loved my many visits to Ireland. I apologise if I've caused any offence. Best M

I just want to thank you for the book When She Was Good. I just finished it and didn't want to put it down. It haunted my dreams at night and invaded my thoughts during the day. I loved Evie and couldn't wait to learn more about her. I got it in a giveaway from Goodreads and have to admit that it was one of the best giveaway books I've read in a very long time. I'll be checking out more of your books in the future. ?
