I'm writing the sequel to The Tempest Murders, the first book in the Ryan O'Clery Series. The book is entitled The White Devil of Dublin and it's scheduled for release this coming fall.
Detective Ryan O'Clery was born and raised in Dublin, as countless generations of the O'Clery family had been before him. Law enforcement is in his blood. When his sister Claire wanted to attend the University of North Carolina in America, he moved with her - though it turned out she didn't need his protection; she met and married her sweetheart, a military man stationed at Fort Bragg.
Ryan stayed and became a detective with the Lumberton Police Department, a job he does quite well. He meets his soul mate in The Tempest Murders and he displays the ultimate in a sexy family man. He can work a homicide case by day, including chasing after killers, climbing fences, getting into fights, and even stealing a boat to get to a killer before he murders again... But when he is home, he is every woman's fantasy: passionate, strong, confident, loving... And when his wife bears twins (because of course he will stop at nothing to marry his soul mate) he even delivers them in the back seat of a minivan when they're not able to make it to the hospital in time.
What's not to love?
If the series was made into a film, I would love to see real-life Dubliner Kevin Ryan play the role of Ryan O'Clery.
Hey, and he's even got the accent down pat!
