The moderators discuss this very matter from time to time and we are okay with it, WFM.

As we see it, many of us worked on this project and are happy to see that an author cares enough to seek proper advice on correct Irish, rather than make it up off the top of their head or worse still Google translate it.

Also, any introduction to Irish language, however great or small, may spark someone's interest in finding out more about the language and perhaps even going on to actually learning the language in future.

So, Suzanne isn't really "peddling" her book so much as sharing with us the fruits of our combined labours and helping us promote the language.
Oh, I see what you mean now. Thanks for that!

Well, that's good to know. And as for your new book: Comhghairdeachas leat! :D

I've already had several people comment. They ask about the Gaelic title and the songs I included. None of which I'd have found without your help.

Many thanks! (I should learn to say that in Gaelic.) :D

Hello all! I just wanted to point out a couple things of interest. First, Amazon has hijacked my book, dropping the price to 99 cents without asking me. That said, initially I was upset, but the promo they've given it has brought the book up in the rankings to #59 in Religious Fiction/Historical, and that's pretty amazing.

Also, there is a great Twitter handle that retweets anything tagged #irish or #gaelic. https://twitter.com/GaelicTweets. Thought I'd pass that along because there's a lot of great info on their page.

I'm going to put myself out here and ask for a translation. I'm still working on my Irish!

Ah, then I guessed right at "congratulations"! Thanks.
