Having met her at multiple conventions, I think I can say unequivocally that 
yes, she is a warm, loving human being, interested in and interesting to 
others.

She is also a delightfully bawdy woman, and a hell of a raconteur!  To catch 
her act, look into attending Norwescon 9 in Seattle, 20-23 March 1986; right 
now, that's the only place I know of her appearing in the US in the next year 
(their other guests are Kelly and Polly Freas, Spider & Jeannie Robinson, & 
Greg Bennett; see publicly-accesible SRI-NIC file CONS.TXT for more 
information).  She is subsidized by the Irish government (paid to stay home and
write, essentially), and only gets to take 2 trips a year out of the British 
isles (as I understand her situation, anyway).
