Had a good 'Twice a Hero' book launch/signing in Tyldesley, courtesy of Wigan Council 'Words' Week. It was a bit slow but some good networking and a very good rehearsal for my next book launch/signing in the Aidan Heavey Library in Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on the 25th April 2013. Hope some of my Irish family can come along for support. It will also be the anniversary of the murder, in Irishtown, Athlone of our uncle Brig. Gen. George Adamson DCM on the 25th April 1922 the day of his 25th Birthday. With six and a half years at war and no normal life to speak of I pray that he is resting in peace, God love him he deserves it. He certainly doesn't deserve to be in an unmarked grave in a disused and overgrown cemetery in Mount Temple, Moate, Co. Westmeath. He deserves to be a hero of the Irish War of Independence and not a victim of it.
