That Bloody Book Tony Flower

Happiness is but a brief transient moment where one's orbit coincides with one's dreams. If you're lucky then sufficient orbits are completed in a lifetime for this happy collision to occasionally reoccur. We each occupy our own trajectory and meet others along the way, sometimes with wonderful, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Follow Joe Stamford as he takes a humorous look back on his 1960`s childhood; through his music fuelled confused adolescence and his left wing youthful idealism, to short, clumsy, bitter failed relationships; and eventually, to the joys and pains of love, marriage and fatherhood. Join him as his pointless career reaches its inevitable conclusion: stumble along to uncaring employment agencies and rare interviews; and wonder incredulously at his newfound ambition. Who is the unknown scar faced stranger who lurks menacingly in the background? Who is the mysterious woman with the UK shaped birthmark on her bum? How does this quiet, unassuming man end up in the midst of the most bizarre escapade imaginable? Who are the innocent victims that are dragged along with him? Can his wife's patience and his marriage survive the strain? What is the real motive of his Nemesis? Come with Joe as his unbelievable adventure reaches its dramatic conclusion. You may even grow to like the deeply flawed, opinionated, self-pitying old fool.
