Can the real Mrs Egin please stand up


My name is Mrs Egin and imagine my surprise to hear about another Mrs Egin written in a book called Demon Thief by best selling childrens writer Darren Shan. http://web.archive.org/web/20070614133722/http://darrenshan.com/Apparantly his "Mrs Egin" is a witch who explodes in a frenzy in the book after frightening the children of the Town.The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction and funny enough said Mr Shan lives in the same village where my mother Hanorah Griffen was born - Pallas Kenry, Co Limerick, Ireland. Surely this is a co-incidence I hear you ask - well it might be but its a small village Pallas Kenry, in fact its the kind of place where everyone knows each other just ask at the Corner House. So is the character based on me? I couldn't possibly say!
