Kurt Vonnegut, the satirical novelist who captured the absurdity of war and questioned the advances of science in darkly humorous works such as "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cat's Cradle," died Wednesday, April 11th. He was 84.  Kurt also wrote the lyrics for the Ambrosia song called Nice, Nice, Very Nice on their first album.  

   Big News from George R.R. Martin by way of Variety : HBO is going to do the series - a book per season on TV starting with "A Game of Thrones".   

Hi all Currans! I\'m Miki Curran originally from Gweedore, Co. Donegal, now living in Cork. I hope to make contact especially with Currans who are writers, fiction or non-fiction. (and naturally with readers.) My novel, Wheels of Destiny is set in Co. Donegal and in New York and is available online @ all online shops. Family saga set during the nineteenth century. Would like to hear from others who enjoy writing and reading!
