Half A Million Hits or 500,000 if you prefer!!

Well it looks like the little old blog will hit 500,000 today!

I guess it's not bad for something I reluctantly began on a writers retreat a little over 8 years ago...

Despite my early reservations, it has been great fun...

Sending out a big THANK YOU today to all who visited from around the globe!

The top locations are....drum roll....

United States 217,591

Ireland 105,093

France 36,212

United Kingdom 21,105

360,000 hits!!

360,000 hits in 6 years on the blog isn't at all bad, especially as there is a similar number on the website! 

Thanks to all who visited!! 

Sending wonderful Christmas wishes to all!!

A quarter of a million is a big number!!!

A great celebration will happen in a few weeks!! 

This blog will reach 250,000 hits...an achievement I didn't think possible a couple of years ago. 

I will be putting my thinking cap on as to ways to celebrate, but you can be sure, they will include YOU!!

Thanks to everyone who has visited - it wouldn't have been the same without you!!!

Number Crunching!

I must be on the mend from this flu virus as I've started to read again, and do some useless number crunching stuff.

Last month was the highest recorded visits to the blog so far, nearly 10,000. I'm sure it was due in part to The Doll's House winning the Best Irish Crime Novel of the Year Award 2013 at the Irish Book Awards, but it also brings my blog hits to over the 150,000 mark.

Anyhow, here are some useless blog states for you for last month. United States looking good!!
