**** Thank you, thank you, to everyone who supported me and made the Ed's desk possible in July 2010.

July 23, 2011. Have just made a collection of short stories public, a couple which I'm not too sure about, so would sure appreciate whatever feedback I get for them. And I'm not afraid of 'tough' crits. :o)

A great big THANK YOU! to Bradley Wind for Reminiscing's cover. :o)

REMINISCING - A Collection of ....

Cáit R Doherty

If you'd like to read a nice feel-good collection of stories set in yesteryear Ireland, then several of these are not for you.


Life's not all warm and fuzzy, it can be difficult, even cruel at times. Reminiscing is like that, but between the stories are some lighter musings, and hopefully the odd chuckle.

Several stories are connected, and some in this collection have been published in England, the US, and Canada.

Feedback appreciated.

01 – IN THE DARKNESS - After twenty-five years, woman meets up with ex-boyfriend.
02 – OLD WOMAN - Very short story - Elderly woman looks back on her youth.
03 – PEACE OF MIND - Ex IRA member thinks back on the 'Troubles' days.
05 – SILENT TEARS - Wife reports husband to Social Services.
07 – WALLS
08 – CARRAIG
09 - PERFUMED WATER - Creative non-fiction, told through a child's eyes.
10 – EMILY – A Child's Christmas Eve wishes.
11 – KEEDY
12 - CALM BEFORE THE STORM
13 - THE CRAMP
14 – SEXUAL OBLIGATIONS - Woman talks about marital problems with friend.
15 – THE TERMINATION - Mother of nine attempts fireside abortion.

Ghost Estate: I’ve read four chapters and want to find out what happened to Paddy, and why the men were at the airport looking for Danny, but it’s almost half-two AM and I must log off. I’m not a fan of opening a book with a dream scene. Wondered what you’d think of beginning with the second p... view book

Roebuck 5000: I never know what to expect from you, Iso, but you never disappoint me. Another interesting one. Well written, and as usual, characters and dialogue come across very natural.

Colin, don’t know if you’re interested in ‘nits’? Anyway, a few on Act 1 and 2. Many of them may not apply but see what you think? Now, a question about Limbo / Purgatory? We were always told that Limbo was a place way out in the universe, where still-births, miscarriages, and babies who died be... view book

The Unholy Innocents: So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. As I don’t read pitches, when I first saw the title of this, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to find it quite a humourous read. Some weeks ago, I had made notes on two chapters but when I went t... view book
