William Ryan Book Launch (with Rugby Stars)

Thursday last, May23rd, in O'Mahonys Bookstore, Limerick city, I and some friends attended the book launch of William Ryan's book The Twelfth Department, the 3rd in the Captain Korolev series. It enjoys praise from many, The Irish Examiner said of it, 'Atmospheric, beautifully written and meticulously researched' and the Times Literary supplement said it was a 'Whoduunit Heaven'.

Author William is a true gentleman, showing great patience posing for photos (that's me above with the dashing William) and chatting with his readers. On the evening he spoke about his book and thanked those of us who attended the launch. There was a rich mix of people there that included some Munster Rugby stars. As you can see from the photo, the place was full of gorgeous men ! Thank you to William and the staff of O'Mahony's bookstore for a lovely warm welcome and an evening of banter with a drinks reception, roll on the next launch please William.
