Here’s a little photo gallery of my book launch party at University Settlement (Lower East Side, New York), April 1. A massive thank you to everyone who provided photos: David Boyle, Larissa Beniaminova (the pro in the room, check her out here), Ted Conklin and Stefanie Cohen. And, of course, to all who came.
-
- The guests begin arriving
-
- Making Pimms for a crowd
-
- The signing table, pregnant with paperbacks
-
- Wife, Margi, and her swimming coach Ellis; see below to read their story
-
- Cousin Ryan and mother-in-law Sue
-
- A brief speech (the storm before the calm)
-
- The terrifying author reading…
-
- …for which I recommend PRECISELY three glasses of wine
-
- And the signing begins
-
- Oi! Stop signing my book, this isn’t ‘Before Midnight’
-
- The party underway (I’m still signing books)
-
- Unpinned from the signing table, my Michael Stipe moment
-
- This is how my wife looks at me every second of every day
-
- With the multi-talented, multi-wonderful Royal Young (check out his memoir ‘Fame Shark’, link below)
-
- Kirsten wants to be adopted by Anahita and Alex (fashion and football; you’ll never guess which one is which)
-
- Ellis again with my fiercely and lovingly supportive mother-and-father-in-law, Ted and Sue Conklin
-
- Mr Ian Knowles, new father, thumbs-up-giver extraordinaire
-

Here’s a story in the New York Post about Margi and her inspirational swimming coach Ellis Peters.
