BLOG TOUR, BOOK REVIEW - Pluto's In Uranus

 

                                                                 BOOK DESCRIPTION

This Christmas Jupiter and Saturn will become closer to each other than they have been for almost 800 years. It is an event that has set the world astrological community abuzz with the possible consequences of such an alignment and its potential impact on global leaders and world events.

But what happens when an even rarer conjunction between Pluto and Uranus occurs and what affect does it hold in store for the lives of everyday ‘ordinary folk’?

 

Well, it’s something that Dave from the post room is about to find out. Pluto is in Uranus and for him this indicates that everything is about to come up smelling of roses or so he thinks!

 

Dave suffers from OCF, Obsessive Compulsive Fatalism, and his Achilles heel is his daily horoscope, which is about to become dramatically affected by the historic planetary alignment.

 

The lucky omens predicted will compel him to take uncharacteristic chances, cross paths with a hotchpotch of larger than life characters who get him embroiled in situations with hilarious outcomes that are way beyond his control and  out of his comfort zone

Question - Precisely how much trouble can you get yourself into whilst placing a bet or two or the horses? Answer - plenty of you are called Dave,suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Fatalism and decide to follow the advice of a psychic and place all your work syndicates money on a horse called Black Cat who ruins everything by losing the race. Dave's workmates are understandably not very happy about his blatant disregarding of the rules and he is given two weeks to raise the sum total of £10.000. After a rather disastrous church bazaar,a very embarrassing rendition of I'm A Little Teapot (with helium gas and all the actions) and learning what Wiifu means,Dave and his new friends Foggy (The stoner) and Joe/Jo (The transvestite) find themselves embarking on a hilarious journey. During their adventure they will encounter a mixed bag of weird and wonderful individuals including some big burly bikers,a feisty,female mechanic and a man taking a loaf of brown bread for a walk. They also utilise a very unusual way that includes cling film and duct tape to transport some deadly piranhas.

Omg - this book is absolutely bloody hilarious,a laugh out loud blend of the classic innuendo packed Carry On Films,the early days of Last Of The Summer Wine with a dash of Wallace and Gromit. The characters were a mixed bag of fantastic, realistic individuals and I loved the banter between Dave, Foggy and Joe/Jo. From the way that this very well written debut ended,it looks like the author is planning to write a sequel. I will keep my fingers crossed that he does, I loved this book and I look forward to reading more of this wonderful trio's adventures in the future.

                                                                         Author Bio – 

Patrick Haylock is a globally unrecognised writer who if you discount a school sweet pea growing competition, has won no awards whatsoever! 

He was born in Enfield at a very dark time in the world. It was 1:45 am, to be precise, and it wasn’t too long before it dawned on him. 

To make something of himself he was going to need two things the ability to tell the difference between a green onion and a scallion, and a good education.  

Wormley Primary and Baas Hill Comprehensive schools did their best to fulfil both requirements, and after giving them 12 years of his life, they gave him seven printed sheets of paper, and the knowledge that there was no difference between a green onion and a scallion.  

He also learned that the difference between onions and bagpipes was that no one ever cries when you chop up bagpipes.  

The certificated wisdom secured a national newspaper messenger’s job, which led to an editorial trainee position, followed by a production editor’s post, and progression into freelance journalism. 

 ‘Knowing his onions’ helped him to successfully establish his own publishing company, design studio, online retro webstore and high street art gallery.  

Patrick lives with his wife in a converted Old Essex Brewery, where he claims the 6% ABV air quality inspires him to craft his nutty tales. 

 Although a ‘new voice’, in the literary world, those ‘in the know’ will willingly testify that his gift for imaginative storytelling is engaging, and, amusingly unique!
