..is my first book. It's a black comedy about dreamers, drinkers and death.
Alan Partridge meets The League Of Gentlemen. Directed by Edgar Wright and a young George Lucas...
Bob Flint is a man with a dream. A dream of running his own bar, Bobs Bar. The only trouble is, since he married Maggie Flint he hasn’t had any money, drive or ambition. So, after an horrendous accident with a whiskey bottle, Maggie goes into a coma and Bob discovers her secret life insurance policy just waiting to be collected. With money from local loan sharks ‘The Bentleys’ borrowed against his windfall, he sets to work making his dream a reality in Maggie's 24 Hour Launderette business 'In A Spin'.
Things would have been great if it wasn’t for his outstanding drinking problem, lack of good business sense, haunting visits from his comatosed wife and police investigations into the suspicious circumstances surrounding her accident.
To make matters worse The Bentleys are demanding their money back and Maggie simply won’t die. In fact, the doctors say she could make a miracle recovery. Bob Flint is a man with another dream. A dream of making it out of this one alive.

Spritz 2: The Curse of Captain Moonblood
I've plotted the sequel to Spritz, bizarrely titled as above. Bob, Johnny et al head to Gran Canaria to open a new bar; Banana Spritz. Typically, for Bob, the bar is situated on the site of a mass suicide. Is he being haunted by the members of that suicide pact or has he just started drinking again...? The book is half written and I intend to get back to it as soon as humanly possible.
