On the topic of writing and Irish-ness, here is a short story that explains, among other things, the origins of that rumor about there being no snakes in Ireland, and why the Land of the Young became separated from ours. 
It was an afterword to my first manuscript but it got bumped for word count reasons. See if you can guess who the narrator really is.

I enjoyed that piece immensely, though I had to read it twice -- so many characters!

By the way, I didn't think Tumblr was still alive!

@GeoffreyGevalt thank you! And yes I fill my chapters with lots of people. It challenges me to give them all unique voices. I think the decision to pull it from the book made sense - too much “newness” in the final chapter is like being served a super-rich desert after a huge meal.
