Oh, I Do Like To Be...

Excited to announce that I’ve just started crowdfunding my new book, ‘Oh, I Do Like To Be…’ on the Unbound website. The title’s a mash-up of Oh, I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside, and To Be or Not To Be: the book’s a seaside-based updating of Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, with the twist being that the central pair of identical twins are both clones of Shakespeare. Of course they are.

Here’s the blurb: Shakespeare clone and would-be playwright Billy has just arrived in an English seaside town with his sister Sally, who was cloned from a hair found on the back of a bus seat. All Billy wants is a cheap B&B, an ice cream, and a huge hit in the West End. Little does he know that their fellow clones Bill and Sal are also residents of this town. Things are about to get confusing…

To celebrate, I’m blogging over on my Unbound page about the process by which I came to write the book. Yep, I’m finally regularly updating a blog, and it isn’t this one. But you can read the blog, and find out more about the book, over at https://unbound.com/books/oh-i-do-like-to-be. Click the ‘updates’ tag for blog posts, and while you’re there, peruse the many different support levels for the book, from e-books and hardback copies, through seaside postcards and souvenirs, a one-off revival of my old Book Swap event, book group appearances, all the way to your chance to name a character in the book.
