Hi Monica, After reading Hello From the Gallespies, I want to read your previous books. Should I read them in sequence or as I find them? I would also like to know which was your favorite book of all that were published? I'm so pleased to have discovered your writings.

Monica McInerney Hello from Dublin, Rosemary, and thanks very much for reading Hello from the Gillespies, I'm so pleased too that you have discovered my writings! Most鈥辞谤别Hello from Dublin, Rosemary, and thanks very much for reading Hello from the Gillespies, I'm so pleased too that you have discovered my writings! Most of my other 11 books are stand alone so can be read as you find them. 4 of my books are linked: Upside Down Inside Out and the sequel Spin the Bottle (called Greetings from Somewhere Else in the USA); The Alphabet Sisters and the sequel Lola's Secret. Of all my books, I do have a soft spot for The Alphabet Sisters, my fourth novel. It is set in my home town of Clare in South Australia, and features one of my favourite characters, an elderly Irishwoman called Lola Quinlan. Happy reading, I hope you enjoy my other stories too and thank you again for getting in touch,

“She just waited. Rosie had no choice. She鈥檇 have to do it on her own. She鈥檇 do anything for Amy, even hear whatever she was about to hear, on her own. The consultant was in his office. It was as untidy as always. He didn鈥檛 smile. It wasn鈥檛 a bad sign. He”
