Recently I left a comment on Fruitful, and another reader of that blog, Damian McNicholl, an author in his own right, left a brief email with me. He wished me luck, and left a link to his own blog.
Now I am going to check on Damian's blog from time to time. Blogs do have a great way of bringing different people - even complete strangers - together. And as a Northern Ireland native now settled in America (after stints in Cardiff and London, of course), he'll have lots of interesting observations to make.
