Hello,
Welcome. It's Monday and time for another guest blogger. Today it's the turn of Michael J Holley, a fellow Sotonian (from Southampton) and also a very funny writer of comedy books. So before I bore you with my waffle, here is Michael talking about his latest novel PLASTER SCENE.

First of all, I’d like to thank Jon for letting me on to his
blog. I met Jon via Twitter, which is almost a modern cliché now given that
every guest post seems to originate in the same way. I’d love to say that we
met on the side of a mountain in Tibet while we were both finding ourselves…
but we didn’t.
Instead, I read his first novel (This Thirtysomething Life)
and was blown away by the observational comedy, which rang uncannily true with
my own experiences. I went on the interweb and discovered that he was from
Southampton too. After a brief panic where I thought he might actually be my
alter ego, I tweeted him to say hello and the rest is beautiful online history.
I’ve been writing seriously for a couple of years now and in
that time I’ve managed to self-publish a collection of short stories (TheChristmas Number one) and a novel (The Great Corporate Escape), but today I’d
like to talk about my second novel, Plaster Scene.
Plaster Scene is a comedy which is set in the UK, both in
the sixties and in the modern day. A mystery begins to unravel when an aging
hippie dies suddenly and leaves an unexpected inheritance behind. The problem
is that she’s buried it somewhere and her snobbish nephew, who’s the sole heir,
and his domineering wife then have to cook up a plan to retrieve it. Once they
do, an adventure begins which changes the lives of everybody involved, forever.
I’ve loved writing this story, which was inspired by the
comedy of PG Wodehouse and Tom Sharpe, and I hope you enjoy reading it. It’s
jam-packed with an array of colourful characters who are buffeted by the
endless twists and turns. I’ve had positive feedback so far and I can’t wait to
hear what you have to say.
Thanks once again to Jon for allowing me to gate crash his
blog. Plaster Scene is now available in both eBook and Paperback.
