Pretty sure I got the best gift for a girl who turns 23 on St. Patrick’s Day.

Last week I was accepted to a summer fiction writing program through the University of Iowa. It’s a six-week course taught in Dublin, Ireland.

I minored in writing in college but never studied abroad, so this is pretty exciting for me. And I should add that I share a birthday with my dog. His name is Dublin. The obsession is complete.

Visit the program’s website for more information.

For samples of my fiction, check out the tab on this site www.KristineGill.com/fiction.

Dublin the puggle turns 4 Thursday. He was not accepted to the writing program.
