I've written a bit of a novel, loosely based around running. I've woven in a bit of Irish interest as well. It may not be great literature but it's available to A/R/T-ists while stocks last for the p&p to ROI which is GBP3.75.

The link to go to is http://backontherock.com/barry-the-novel-2/ I'll pop one in the post upon receipt of payment. Any queries PM me.

Good stuff Roy, always good to see people getting a book to print. Since you're now a writer, you'll need to drink, so I added a little extra for a couple of pints of the cheapest Jersey beer. Looking forward to reading your book

Boobs, twice-nightly's, French Tarts, rampant sex; and I'm only on chapter 6...:D

Running and sex. Great stuff. I've ordered a copy.

Hold on, don't believe every review you read :pac: It's strictly family entertainment.

Congratulations on the book, I put in my order this morning.

With reviews like dpop's you'll be very busy posting out books over the next few weeks:D

Sure the protagonist is bed-hopping already. I'm telling you lads, this is Pure Muck of the highest quality, you wouldn't find the likes in a locked attic of a Parisian bordello.

Are you sure you haven't accidentally stumbled upon your old stash of X-rated magazines?

Maybe I've overstated the rumpy-pumpy. But if you married the old XXX stash with the Garmin Megathread, they'd produce something similar to "Barry".:)

Anyway, I'm enjoying the read so far, Roy!

Finished it today. Very good read Roy, well done. But the ending:eek: You'll have to write a follow up.

Crafty robot butler....

Looking forward to it also Roy. Planning to sandwich it between a couple of booker prize winners, so it'll be nice inject something a little more high-brow.

robinph

Just finished this on the plane ride back yesterday. Good read, thanks Roy.

Just got an email from my club this morning about what leg I'm running in a couple of weeks in Sutton Park, I'm now worried that the crafty robot butler is going be coming after me. :eek:

Have 23hrs of flight time coming up next week so have been saving it until then - the anticipation is killing me

Thanks Tom. Even I'd hesitate to call it great literature but I had a blast writing it.
