Knock, knock, who's there?
New novella. Out now. You can read Through Open Doors any time you want. Yes, really!
“EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!”
OUT NOW AT ALL GOOD BOOKSTORES (well, Amazon for now)… Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a new novella, brought to you by your truly…
THROUGH OPEN DOORS.
What’s it all about?!?!? I hear you cry out, as you jump up from your stool/sofa/hammock/chaise lounge/psychiatrist’s chair.
Well, you’ve sort of got to read it to find out, right? Otherwise, ask yourself, what am I doing here Jack? I don’t write this junk for kicks you know. I need hard moola. Cash preferably… how else am I going to feed the stray cat and fund my Guinness habit? Oh, you think Guinness is good for you, do you?
Don’t worry, I haven’t been drinking.
OK, OK, I give in. Fair enough. Here’s some titbits for you.
It’s about an old codger called Mr. Deardsley.
He is sort of losing his marbles. Kinda. Maybe.
He is a widower.
He both longs for the past and regrets the past. Don’t we all?
He is a determined and stubborn individual.
His daughters want him in a care home. He doesn’t want to go into care.
A little like I Must Stay at Home, this new novella is what I would call a tragicomedy.
And judging by how my new novella The Gaff is shaping up, my shorter works of fiction are all going to veer towards tragicomedy at this rate.
