The Writhing Book Launch - in pictures

We did it! The place was packed, the joint was jumping, there was applause, there was laughter, there were many, many readers. It. Was. Awesome.

Don’t forget - if you would like a copy, please message me on here, and I’ll get back to you. The books costs €8, plus postage and packaging.
