by Paul Keany (Author)

From the author of the best-selling novel 'The Cocaine Diaries' comes another true story of Dublin in the 1980s. The Party Animals were a wild bunch of womanising strippers. There was no dress code, no uniformity and no rehearsals. The lads were full of whiskey, drugs and pure adrenalin. This was 1980s Dublin and Ireland was in the height of the troubles. The Party Animals went both north and south of the border, for whoever was willing to pay top dollar, like mercenaries of the entertainment world. This story takes the reader through a two year journey of madness and mayhem, culminating in a stark warning by the paramilitaries to STOP.

Author Biography

Paul Keany was born in Oxford England in 1963. The youngest of three children, he had a reasonably happy childhood. Both his parents were born in Ireland, Dublin and Dundalk to be precise. Being of Irish descent he was bought up with Irish values, in Irish ways. His love of all things Irish shows in his writing. Being educated in Oxford sounds good, but for him getting out of school sounded better! So he left school at the age of sixteen and joined the Navy. It all sounded like a great adventure in the careers office. In reality he saw more of the world on TV. After serving three years he asked if he could leave and they said no. This didn't deter young keany, so he left on his own terms by going, AWOL! His new life found him in Ireland where his family had gone to live. This was in the early 80's and unemployment was very high. Most young Irish people were going in the opposite direction, back over the Irish Sea. With his family to support him he soon found work and one job led to another. He first got into writing after an unfortunate incident in Venezuela. This incident led to his first book 'The Cocaine Diaries' which he co-wrote with journalist Jeff Farrell. While locked away in prison, he came up with many ideas for different books. 'The Party Animals' is the first of those ideas. He hopes from bad things, that good things might come. And of course he hopes this is the first of many.
