I Never Fancied Him Anyway (43 page)

My dating history can pretty much be summarized as follows: the triumph of optimism over experience. But you did it and I’m happy for you and I know I can too. Come on, Cassandra, I know you won’t let me down! You’ve found someone lovely and so too can all your readers!

All I need to know is . . . when, oh when, will it be my turn?

Yours, in everlasting hope . . .

THE END

About the Author

Claudia Carroll
was born in Dublin, where she still lives, along with several imaginary boyfriends. She has worked extensively as an actress on the Irish stage, but is probably best known for her role as TV’s Nicola Prendergast in the long-running RTE soap opera,
Fair City
, a character she describes as ‘the horrible old cow everyone loves to hate’.

Her most recent novel,
Remind Me Again Why I Need A Man
has been optioned by Twentieth Century Fox as a TV series. Claudia isn’t married and the book’s title comes from a phrase she finds herself using quite a bit. Similarly, ‘I Never Fancied Him Anyway’, is something she often finds herself saying, particularly after a really lousy date.
