I imagine he has a lovely Irish accent that would make the experience utterly delightful :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-75698452120814968622020-04-10T01:41:44.275+10:002020-04-10T01:41:44.275+10:00He is one of those authors whose works I rarely re...He is one of those authors whose works I rarely read and, yet, I am convinced that "someday" I'll read them all, because I've enjoyed the short stories and novel excerpts I've read so far, and he is always delightful in interviews!
