‘OneTwoOne’ book launch - October 22nd, 2009, Belfast
Gerry has an anecdote in the book ‘OneTwoOne’, published by the Creative Writers’ Network on behalf of Belfast Central Library.
The book consists of photos and memories of the Central Library, which is 121 years old this year; and contains writing by some very well thought of Northern Irish writers - including Sam Millar, Ruth Carr, and Liz Weir, to name only a few. Gerry is very pleased to be published in their company!
The launch of the book will take place in the Central Library, 2nd Floor, Irish Room, on Thursday 22 October 2009, at 6.00 pm. Refreshments will be provided. The book has been produced in a limited edition of 121 copies, at £10.00 each, and I hear there are very few left - so if you want a copy, be sure to come along early!
