CABBAGE BOY! AVAILABLE FROM TODAY ON AMAZON

A WARM AND FUNNY NEW BOOK FOR TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS - AND THEIR PARENTS

I'm delighted that my new book, CABBAGE BOY, was published today and is available on Amazon in paperback or on Kindle.
I don't usually believe in coincidences but it just so happens that I was writing the final chapter on the day that a new form of manure was introduced into the 80 acre field behind my house - and probably elsewhere in my home town, which also happens to be the setting for my book.
Without giving the plot away, manure plays an important role in the story of teenage Nick, a worrier, with more than a dash of OCD. Almost sixteen, he longs to be taller, braver, more athletic, more popular with the girls, more one of the guys. He also suspects that he's the only one in the class who's still a virgin.
Life brightens when he finds a girlfriend and falls in love with her. They've been together for four weeks and he's kissed her eighteen times, according to his notebook.
But when Nick meets a strange and scary mutant and is forced to protect and hide him, his life becomes unbearable. Who can he turn to for help?
Mum and Dad are busy line dancing, big sister Becca has lost interest and his girlfriend Chloe has moved on to a handsome six-footer who's captain of the school football team. As for friends, Nick doesn't 'do' friends. Or rather, they don't do him.
Full of humour, warmth and tragedy, CABBAGE BOY can be enjoyed by both sexes.
By the way, I'm planning to send a copy to our local Borough Council's Environmental Protection Department!
