Turning Page Bookshop to Host Book Signing with WCSC’s Bill Walsh

Turning Page Bookshop will be hosting Live 5 News meteorologist Bill Walsh on Saturday, September 7th. He will be signing copies of his latest book, Uncle Danny from 10 am to 12 pm.

When Walsh is not predicting Lowcountry weather, he is writing fiction under his pen name, W.F. Walsh.

Here’s a description of Uncle Danny by the publisher:

Danny Walsh, aka “Uncle Danny,” along with Owney “The Killer” Madden and William “Big Bill” Dwyer ran an organized crime syndicate called the Big Seven, and nothing stood in their way. If something did, it was dealt with. Violence and payoffs were part of the game they played throughout prohibition making millions on illegal booze.

Al Capone ran Chicago. The North End Gang ran Boston. The Big Seven ran New York, New England, and just about everything else. Tensions over territory and supply led to gang warfare as cash money continued to roll in.

Everyone wanted a piece of the action no matter what the price. This action-packed novel is based on three true characters and a snapshot of a violent era gone by. Uncle Danny is one family
member you don’t mess with.

Walsh has also written two books about national security, Red Carpet Ransom and The Umbrella Option.
