Great News for 2010

Consider this:

'All fathers are intimidating. They’re intimidating because they are fathers. Once a man has children, for the rest of his life, his attitude is, "To hell with the world, I can make my own people. I’ll eat whatever I want, I’ll wear whatever I want, and I’ll create whoever I want."'

Jerry Seinfeld

I've always liked that quote. Probably because it rings so true to me.

Michelle, my most excellent wife, is fourteen weeks pregnant. The latest addition to the Brennan household (#3) is due to arrive in July 2010 and we're absolutely delighted. Anything else that happens this year is just gravy.

Hopefully everybody is getting over the cruel blow Declan Burke dealt his readers (including me) the other day. He announced a closure of sorts of his top class blog, Crime Always Pays. This is a big loss to the online crime fiction community but, as life is a big set of swings and roundabouts, it's also a good thing for th online crime fiction community. Declan's a terrific novelist and I respect his decision to reorganise his time to bring us all new work.

Dec, fair play to you, squire!

This isn't exactly speedy reporting, but I have a valid excuse. I attended my brother-in-law's wedding yesterday. Congratulations Peter and Ciara Earley! Here's a pic of the happy wee Brennan family that might put a few smiles on people's faces (so long as you ignore the goatee'd boyo bringing down the standard of loveliness). I'm a lucky man.
