Today I learned...

That Joseph O'Connor, who wrote Star of the Sea (which I looooved) is the brother of Sinead O'Connor! Am I the only one who didn't know??

No way!  I didn't know, either!  Star of the Sea was fab and his 10th book and before that he was a successful journalist. 

Wow.  That's far out.

It's the only one of his I've read. Have you read others? And, if so, which would you recommend.

I've just looked at pics of him, and you're right. They do look similar. I didn't know what he looked like at all before.

Sinead is just fab. I love everything about her.

Oh wow!  She looks fantastic, too, and she's got 4 kids!

My husband met her once at an R&B studio in Atlanta.  He made her a cup of tea and she asked where she could get a good curry.  He can't remember anything else about their conversation...the air was perhaps a bit smokey?
