Only one more day to go. Here’s the final peek into Calling Frank O’Hare before launch day.
This one’s from Chapter 2. Frank is walking those dogs in the park and has just bumped into an old pupil and her friend. He overhears their parting conversation and his ego is all too briefly inflated:
‘Ooh you were my favourite teacher,’ said his former pupil’s friend in a namby-pamby voice, obviously not realising it was carrying now the barking had stopped.
‘Well he was. All the girls fancied him. He was actually quite hot,’ said the ex-pupil.
Quite hot eh? He had no idea. Foolish, vain and entirely inappropriate as it was, he couldn’t help being a tiny bit impressed with himself.
‘Not that you’d know it now,’ she said.
And with that, Frank’s bubble felt a little pin prick and burst. So that was him then. The man who used to be quite hot. Not even fully hot. Not then, and certainly not now.
He veered off the path before the last vestiges of his pride were shattered to smithereens. ‘C’mon dogs. Fish and Chips. And drink. I need a drink.’
Like what you’ve seen? The book is officially out tomorrow but you can buy the paperback now.
You can also pre-order the eBook now and it will be with you tomorrow.
If you’re a Kindle Unlimited reader, look out for it tomorrow.
However you read it, I hope you enjoy Frank’s story.
