OK, I might be a bit notorious on here for flying the flag for Ireland and have given harsh reviews to non-Irish authors for not doing it right. So any of my friends who read this book, please, please be under no illusions that we are ALL like that from Ireland. I am not, but I do know Dublin people and I know they also would be horrified to be portrayed like that. Even the fucking teacher in the school couldn’t pronounce the words. Seriously, as an Irish person I was disturbed by the way we were portrayed. I only read the sample and that was enough for me. How about putting a note for those of us who ARE Irish and are familiar with Irish dialect and think WTF? "I just wanted to put this note in for readers who aren’t familiar with Irish dialect, so you don’t read a sentence and think “WTF?” "…we also leave out the letter G on most words when we speak, again, this is just another part of our dialect.” Everything is “me” here in Ireland and rarely “my”… " "I want to make it clear that when you see an Irish character in Dominic say the word “me” where “my” should be, that is supposed to be written that way. We tend to break words down when speaking and jumble them…." "Dominic is set in Ireland most of the characters are Irish, and the Irish have a dialect that is completely different from any other dialect in the world. Her first novel, Dominic, will be self-published, on March 17th, 2014.QUOTES ARE FROM THE "READER'S NOTE" AT THE START OF THE BOOK She is a twenty two year old stay at home mother to an almost 2 year old German Shepherd named Storm and of course, her 4 and half year old (the half is apparently vital) beautiful little hellion/angel depending on the hour of the day. Casey was born, raised and currently resides in Dublin, Ireland. Dominic wants her, and what Dominic wants, Dominic gets.
Dominic wants Bronagh and the only way he can get to her, is by dragging her from the boxed off corner she has herself trapped in the only way he knows how…by force. Attention from everyone except the beautiful brunette with a sharp tongue. Dominic is used to attention, and when he and his brothers move to Dublin, Ireland for family business, he gets nothing but attention. When Dominic Slater enters her life, ignoring him is all she has to do to get his attention. If she doesn’t befriend people, talk to them or acknowledge them in any way they leave her alone just like she wants. After a car accident killed her parents when she was a child, Bronagh Murphy chose to box herself off from people in an effort to keep herself from future hurt.
