Outgoing, wicked sense of humour (though not crude - can't stand muck). Love talking to people. I believe everyone has something to say and it's an honour to listen to them. On Gather, I'm Looking For ...: Support and encouragement to develop my writing style (and get published as well.) Interact with people of a similar nature. Interests Lately I've been listening to: Gold - all from 60s & 70s I'm currently reading: Can't wait to get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg I'd love to visit: Jerusalem - I just feel it's some sort of spiritual home to me??? Topping my Wish List is: Have a No1 best seller - but I need to write something good first ... Favorite Music, Artists, Genres: Diverse - as a child of the sixties I favour most music from that era. Also Roy Orbison, Bee Gees, Katie Melua, Elton John (can't stand the man, but I love his music) Favorite Books, Writers, Genres: Pukoon by Spike Milligan, anything by Andy Mcnab, Andy McNab, Stephen King, Milbur Smith. I love Can't Wait To Get To Heaven by Fannie Flagg ... Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres: Anything with John Wayne in it, & Clint Eastwood. I also secretly enjoy the odd weepie-feelgood type like Nanny McFee Favorite TV Shows, Actors: The Bill (UK ITV) Becker, Battlestar Galactia (New one) Favorite Places: Fenit, a small seaside harbour near Tralee, Ireland. Interests and Activities: Short stories - reading and writing them. Walking in the country, both in Ireland (where I was brought up), and here in Wales (where I now live) Being with my family - there's millions of us in Ireland!, Writing short stories, fifteen of which have been published over the years (and can be read free on BeWrite.net.) Written one novel called Once On A Cold And Grey September, published by iUniverse.

I hope you like it, Connie ... view Brendan Gerad's profile | Ping Brendan Gerad Connie C., Nov 4, 2011, 11:08PM EDT I just now found your book "A Christmas Holiday" on nook for free. I downloaded it and am ready to read it. view Connie's profile | Ping Connie Cathi L., Dec 15, 2010, 8:32PM EST Brendie, you are ALWAYS such a sweet, sweet man. Thank you and happy holidays to you! view Cathi's profile | Ping Cathi Sheila Deeth, Nov 19, 2010, 12:52PM EST Congratulations on the granddaughter. Reading ASDA in your employers takes me back. They opened one down the street from us when I was a kid. view Sheila's profile | Ping Sheila Veronica Hosking, Oct 15, 2010, 2:10PM EDT Thank you for the ebooks. I'm reading your Irish short stories. Having come from South Buffalo, my husband considers himself Irish even though he only has Irish blood from his paternal grandmother. view Veronica's profile | Ping Veronica Brendan Gerad O'Brien, Oct 14, 2010, 4:14PM EDT Thanks, Cathi - now I'm blushing ... view Brendan Gerad's profile | Ping Brendan Gerad Cathi L., Oct 13, 2010, 8:38PM EDT By the way, I still think you have a most wonderful smile! view Cathi's profile | Ping Cathi Cathi L., Oct 13, 2010, 8:37PM EDT She's my warrior icon. I have ancestors from St. Andrews dating way, way back (not officially verified) and I figure there had to be some warriors in that history. So this icon is my vision of a woman warrior, (created by someone else) but the picture struck me as bearing the traits of a powerful, confident woman. She is sort of an alter ego when I am feeling less confident. :) view Cathi's profile | Ping Cathi Ishbel R., Sep 30, 2010, 5:58PM EDT We were there about 3 weeks ago... We viewed the SS Gt Britain and took the water ferries to various places. I LOVE Bristol! view Ishbel's profile | Ping Ishbel Elizabeth O., Apr 24, 2010, 7:58AM EDT Hello B Gerad ~ I'm glad to be your new Gather friend!!
