Three comedy novels about the world's worst life coach. Cuthbert Huntsman is a bankrupt barfly with eight broken marriages who thinks he's wiser than Jordan Peterson and Deepak Chopra combined, but clearly isn't. How Not To Live Your Life chronicles Cuthbert's search for the rules of failure. Cop Lives Probably Matter sees Cuthbert embroiled in a ludicrous crime caper crammed with heists, hitmen, and murder. Trigger Warning puts the life of a disgraced military hero in Cuthbert's incapable hands. The books are outrageous parodies of self-help manuals, crime novels and military thrillers - but they're also stuffed with edge-of-the-pants action, memorable characters, and surreal twists. Interview with the Author:Q – What's so special about the Cuthbert Huntsman series?A – They are all comedy books full of dark humour, frantic action, staggering stupidity, and misguided wisdom. At a time when everyone is pretending to be perfect and "living their best lives" on Instagram, I think it's refreshing to have a deeply flawed anti-hero stumbling about from one mistake to another. It feels closer to my own life, anyway.Q – What order should I read the Cuthbert Huntsman Trilogy in?A – It's more of a loosely conjoined threesome than a trilogy, but I'd suggest: 1. How Not To Live Your Life 2. Cop Lives Probably Matter 3. Trigger Warning Cuthbert narrates and wreaks havoc in all three. How Not To Live Your Life is a twisted take on self improvement books, and crammed with heightened comedy characters. Cop Lives Matter is a comedy crime tale, a parody of the police drama "Line of Duty". Trigger Warning is an SAS comedy, a satire of the bestselling military thriller perfected by Andy McNab and Chris Ryan.Q – Why are you parodying such popular genres?A – Because I love them. I am a big fan of crime books, thriller books and self development books. That doesn't mean I can't take all the things I like about them – the earnestness, or the relentless pace, or the jaw-dropping action, and exaggerate them to ludicrous levels. At least I hope not. I don't want the SAS coming after me, or even Jordan Peterson.
