This is in part to pay tribute to two women who shaped me as a person and writer, but did not have the opportunity to develop their own creative talents.

When I started surfing and entered the chat, blogging and forums about eight years ago I went with moniques like Irishskye, Irishrose. <br /><br />To understand would be for me to explain my ADORATION for the Emerald Isle, but that would be a blog in its self.

When my mom married my step-dad, who still likes to torment me in a loving way, he said that since he was new to the family we all had to change our names (I'm not sure how that's logical, I guess since I wasn't changing my last name like my mom was?
