Save Our Shop
Losing his job at the local newspaper after a series of unflattering doodles, William Bridge is called to help his uncle Albert keep his shop going. He immediately falls in love with Sally, the latest shop volunteer, despite formidable opposition from her autocratic stepmother, Lady Courtney. Following a break-in and lost orders, an SOS sent to Albert's maverick brother Neil changes everything. On the run from the police, Neil disguises himself as his Aunt Isobel, and encourages William to be nice to a visiting American security expert and his flighty daughter Veronica, causing a rift in his budding romance. Pressure soon mounts for William to investigate rumors of a shady deal to take over the shop, and threaten the life of the village - a price he is willing to pay in a desperate fight to win back his love.

Following National Service in the RAF, I returned reluctantly to banking until an opportunity arose to pursue a career in writing. After working as press officer for an engineering company, I was asked to set up a central press office as group press officer for an engineering company, then moved to become publicity manager for a fixed wing and helicopter charter company where I was involved in making a film of the company's activities at home and overseas. I became so interested in filming that I joined up with a partner to make industrial films for a number of years, in which I was responsible for preparing treatments and scripting, before ending my career handling research publicity for a national gas transmission company. With the advent of self publishing, I have written several books - a romantic comedy, as well as two children's books.I am a life member of the Writers Guild.

Honestly, I like a lot of British humor, but this one is an absolute dud! I was tempted to just put it down, but determined to press through to the end…. The problem was that I kept falling asleep. Purchased as an Apple book, I started listening to this book on my phone when I went to bed. I couldn’t stay awake through a single chapter! Apparently, sometime last night the book finished? (Hallelujah!). Now I can move on to something interesting in my Apple library… Anyway, if you have sleeping issues, this book may be your solution. Overall rating: BORING!
