“Speaking was a habit she’d gotten into years ago, in the distant past, and that she’d stopped she felt no desire to start again. It was pointless anyway – all the blah-blah-blabbing and, still, no one understood each other.”
A reflection from “Ask Again, Yes” by Mary Beth Keane

"We All Die in the End", (now with 5 star reviews on Goodreads and Amazon) is available in both paperback and ebook editions on Amazon. The book is an unusual collection of interlinked stories set in a small town on the Co Down coast. Some are grim, some deal with abusive relationships but there's a lot of dark humour here, and joy too. 16 of the 19 tales have been previously published in literary magazines, or have been broadcast, or both. I am currently working on a collection of poetry "The Red Petticoat".

Yes your words are very true. Some days I just feel like closing myself up with a book and not talking to anybody. It is so much better to just be with the characters in the book. They almost become your best friends. As if you know every habit and preferences of that person. The experience is wonderful and so is your book shelf.
Best wishes from The Strong Traveller and have a great day

I am reading another book by Mary Beth Keane. It is called Fever and is a fictional account of Typhoid Mary. It is very good.
