A funny book about a funny club

A CLUB FOR QUIRKY PEOPLE

Quirky people buy quirky things – and Ebay is full of quirky things. DANGER ALERT! What if they can’t stop bidding? What if their lives become quirkier and quirkier as a result? TIME TO JOIN THE EBAY CLUB!

WEEKLY THERAPY

Every week a dozen or so Ebay idiots rock up to the Village Hall carrying an assorted array of nonsense, show it off to their peers and admit, often reluctantly, that they may, just may, have a problem. Here’s your chance to gatecrash a meeting and see if you agree.

THE LEADER

First you’ll meet Big Dick. He rules the club with a rod of iron. But underneath he has a heart of gold – and an incredibly small bladder. Which is a bit of a contradiction, given his name. He misses most of each meeting by dashing to the loo.

THE MEMBERS

A wonderful bunch of misfits. From the upper echelons – Lord Marmite, who bids on antique commodes… to society’s underbelly – Micky Finn, who bids on various disguises to go thieving in.

Daft Donald, a tiny fellow who loves uniforms… an irate individual named Mr Angry, who bids on lots he can shout at… a vicar who collects bones…David Attenborough, who buys Toys-R-Us cast-offs…Cyril Fox, a barrow boy who deals from a suitcase bigger than Dr Who’s tardis…a 90 year old thug who inflicts terror on her sheltered accommodation… two close ‘friends’, Lamb and lettuce who prance around in mankinis feeding their toes to fish… a robot with a mind of its own…and a lookalikee who employs her own Mr Paparazzi.

THE WINNING LOTS

How about a London Routemaster bus for starters, a human skull, a Guardsman’s bearskin, a burqa, a much loved iguana, a destructive Segway scooter, and a selection of candles in the wind.

THE ACTION

Carol singers under arrest. A Guardsman being chased by hostile parents. A bus journey from hell. Flying cyclists. Car wars on the high street. Piers Morgan as a punchbag (yesss!), courtesy of the renowned ex-boxer, Sugar Ray Shit for Brains, and Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, makes a comeback.

So come on…take the plunge and dive into this mad world of laugh out loud comedy…they’re all there waiting for you.

Available free until 3rd March on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

BUILD A BOOK

BUILD A BOOK is a series of ten booklets, designed to provide authors of all levels with advice and tips on how to write and sell a novel. By splitting the workshop into ten

distinct booklets, writers are able to cherry-pick, and arm themselves with what they need to write successful fiction. The booklets comprise Preparation, Plot, Synopsis, Characters, Dialogue, Setting, Viewpoint, Revision, Publishing and Marketing.

What does ‘Synopsis’, this third booklet cover?

This booklet’s main purpose is to help the author get from the beginning to the end of a story. The synopsis is a detailed route planner.

We show you the best way to create an effective synopsis.

We show you how to write down the general idea of your plot in one short paragraph, the basic skeleton of your synopsis.

We show you how to put flesh on this skeleton by writing a continuous précis of the entire story.

We show you how to turn this précis into a detailed, chapter by chapter, story development, which will provide a blueprint to guide you through the story.

By following our suggestions, you will create a serious working tool, that will ensure that you don’t lose the plot and run out of steam mid way through your novel.

Who is the booklet for?

Synopsis is the third of ten keys needed to hone your novel writing skills. It is aimed at all authors, regardless of ability and experience, and provides comprehensive information on creating the synopsis for a novel.

This booklet, together with the other nine, could represent the best investment you make in your writing career, no matter what stage it’s currently at.

Pick ‘n mix, or buy the lot. It’s all here waiting for you.

Booklet 1 – Preparation, and Booklet 3 – Plot, are also available now from the Amazon Kindle Store. The next seven booklets are imminent, but currently at various stages of publication. Visit http://www.theindietribe/build-a-book... to know when to expect them.

Available free until 3rd March on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
