Hellishly good fun!
This was such fun to write — and I hope this shows.
I was a bit coy in the author stuff suggesting that I may or may not have worked in a Catholic primary school in Brighton. Well…confession time…of course I have. My worry is that this inside knowledge would mean that I was telling people who’ve worked in primary education what they already know and also providing too much information for those who haven’t. In other words, stuff that general readers wouldn’t even need to know. I have no idea whether I’ve got the balance right. I’m sure I’ll be told! My main hope, of course, is that it’s just a fun and enjoyable read.
This is the description of the book on Amazon:
Tom Humphries is a newly qualified teacher working in a Catholic primary school in Brighton but he’s not sure that it’s his forever job. It’s certainly not going to help him win the woman he wants to be his forever love, icy travel influencer Halinka Petrovic.
Then Tom meets a mysterious stranger who says that he can help him. The stranger can do this because he can make Tom’s wishes come true – but only three of them. That’s all he’s got. What can Tom choose that will have any chance of working out well? They say be careful what you wish for – but is any wish really safe?
Find out the answer to this and many other perplexing questions, such as whether hell is full of elderly Golden Retrievers and if there are any embarrassing and unusual uses for clingfilm in this cross between Lucky Jim and Aladdin.
