My thanks to Cathleen Townsend for her lovely review for What’in a Name…..a terrific end to the week.
What’s in a name? Everything. As someone who has gone through the entire official argy-bargy to get my name legally changed, I appreciate the power behind the monikers we bear. Sally Cronin obviously shares this sensibility because this short story collection focuses on the unique power our names have to shape our lives.

I have just started reading this. Can’t tell you how good it is but no doubt I will … he says enigmatically.
And no I haven’t skipped forward to read Paul….I’m a good reader I am… and anyway it ends at Jack! (Rat’s I’ve given myself away!)
Come Volume 2, then I’ll skip forward!!!!
