Start Spreadin' The News...


Adrian McKinty, one of CSNI's most featured writers has his happy face on today. He got himself nominated for an award! He says:


The uber charming Rebecca Gray, Serpent's Tail's PR guru/marketing whiz/resident genius informed me this morning that The Bloomsday Dead has been long listed for an award. It's from Spread The Word an increasingly important body in the UK who want to encourage people to (gasp) read more books. It's a people's choice award, so after the long listing, the people, i.e. you, will vote to make the short list and the winner will be announced on international book day next year. If you'd like to vote for Bloomsday Dead or any of the other nominees then jump on over to their website.

So, what are you waiting for? It'll take you about half a minute to register as a user on the site, then just go here and vote for The Bloomsday Dead. Maybe leave a wee comment of suport too, eh? Go on, he's not a bad aul sort, like.

Ah, sure, that's what I'm here for.

No, never been to Yankee Stadium, but I hope to rectify that some time in the summer. Was planning on visiting NYC for my 30th, but the finances aren't looking good. Something for the future, I hope.

I meant to say, "rectify that some time in the future", not summer. Wishful thinking or psychic foretelling?

Only time will tell.

You'll have to visit The New Yankee stadium now. They're tearing the old house down. They're tearing down Shea too, but that's hardly got a mention in the press.

Are you still pals with Davy Torrance? You and him should juke over and boost the province on someone else's dime. The Assembly could pay for it. Course it might not be much fun. There is the age gap. Torrance is pushing 60 now I reckon and you're barely out of your teens.

A junket, you say? Age gap or not, that might be crazy enough to work.

Will you be visiting for David's sixtieth?
