Superpositions and Second Chances: The Start of the Series
Book One: Where It All Begins 🍻
Welcome to Nuneaton, 1990—a place where the pints are bitter, the jukebox hums, and the secrets of the universe are just a conversation away.
The Pub Professor and the Secrets of the Universe is the first book in my series, and it all kicks off on a bitter New Year’s Day when Joe Merrick walks back into town after more than a decade away.
He’s not just returning from San Francisco—he’s come from the future, carrying knowledge that could rewrite lives if he lets it slip. But for now? He’s just after a pint and a bit of peace in the warmth of The Sunny, the pub that raised him.
But if you’ve ever tried to keep a secret in a small town, you know how that goes…
This book is where Joe starts using pub banter to explain the mysteries of the universe: quantum superposition, wave-particle duality, multiverse theory, and even chaos theory—all in the language of pints, pool tables, and pub quizzes.
Alongside the science, there’s plenty of drama: a budding love triangle, karaoke mishaps, Saturday nights at Maddison’s, and conversations that hit harder than a shot of whisky. You’ll meet Linda, the sharp-tongued barmaid with a soft heart; Gaz, who thinks Schrödinger’s cat is a pub trick; and Big Tony, the philosophical landlord who’s seen it all.
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Einstein walked into a Midlands pub and started talking about time and light between sips of ale—this is it.
Start reading Book 1 for free on Kindle and step into a world where science meets community, and no one gets left behind—no matter how complicated the equations (or the emotions) might be.
This is more than a story. It’s a proper night at The Sunny.
"Imagine the pub like an atom…" — Joe Merrick, explaining quantum physics over his third pint.
