Highly recommended.""This is a brilliant story. Clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and mysterious all at the same time. Heartily recommended.""I read this in 2 sessions spending the time in between wondering "what next?" for Beckman. Really good fun to read with more than a touch of darkness, so much neon, a very odd pet and the best breakdown service on the planet. Very enjoyable and highly recommended!""An original, inventive storyline and a variety of three dimensional characters that you will genuinely care about. Dialogue sharp enough to shave with, well paced and bubbling with humour.""A really easy and enjoyable read. Once I started it was tough to put down, and when I did, I always looked forward to going back for more.""In a surprising town a salesman finds everything he ever wanted. This is such an incredibly interesting story. I couldn't put it down. And I could never decide if the town was real or not. But the characters could have lived next door!""This is one of those books that will leave you with a smile on your face. Funny, relatable perfect characters, a story that kept me turning the pages and an ending that did not disappoint. This is a great book to take on holiday because it is light-hearted and fun.""I struggle to compare this book with others. The words 'unique' and 'inventive' come to mind. The dialogue is well-crafted and funny, the characters are wonderfully individual, and the narrative is a kaleidoscope of colourful drama. This book will stick with you.""It's funny, it's witty, it's hilarious in places and it's also quite serious if need be. I have to say I'm blown away by it.""The narrative of the story keeps you gripped and there is drama and comedic moments a-plenty! An easy and pleasant read from start to finish.""I did have a good chuckle while reading this book, the characters are likeable, the twists and turns in the story are unpredictable and the plot itself is quite unusual. ""I thought this was a fun read with quirky, likeable characters that kept me interested. I chuckled along with the what on earth is going to happen next-ness of the book, appreciated how things wrapped back around on themselves, and I'd happily read another.""At times the book feels like a moral tale, at others we veer into magical realism and on other occasions we find ourselves almost in the middle of a thriller. With memorable characters and a light-hearted style, its a book that certainly has some unusual twists and turns. ""This is a quirky, light-hearted read. A great concept - very original. " I've been a writer since 1991. I began with science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 I branched out into playwriting and have had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in my ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in my books.My first self-published novel was 2012's space opera Sacred Ground. I then moved into the near-future sci-fi genre, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023.I have always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019's quirky romantic black comedy Tow Aw
