Calling Frank O’Hare will be landing on 1st April.
The countdown to the big day starts here. Are you ready to have your whistle whetted?
I thought I’d give you a few snippets from Calling Frank O’Hare this week.
Snippet no: 1 starts on the first page:
Satisfied with his stretch and his life, he selected the first tube of paint. It was a new one, as yet unopened. Frank loved a brand new tube of paint. There was so much potential in them, so many possibilities. He unscrewed the top and broke the seal. Time to get started.
Then the phone rang.
He checked the caller ID. It was his sister. Frank tutted and screwed the top back onto the paint. He was going to have to take this, whether he wanted to or not.
‘Frank, it’s Siobhan, your sister.’
‘I know who you are, Siobhan. What’s up? Is it the parents?’
‘Now why would you ask me that?’
‘You don’t usually call.’
‘I could say the same for you, Francis. They’re grand. There’s nothing wrong with them.’
‘What is it then?’
‘Who is it, you mean.’
‘Ah.’ There was no need to say more. He knew what was coming next.
Eager to know more? Tune in tomorrow to find out what was coming next…
