My novels My scripts My short stories My comedy sketches My jokes My produced work Celeburbia (Romantic comedy / satire) A deliciously satirical romantic comedy, shamelessly sending up England's ditzy, glitzy reality TV celebrity culture where a total nobody can become a massive somebody and talent is soooo overrated. Sheldon Trent leaps back into the life of Daisy Thorne. But then Daisy loses him to TV reality star Melody Diamond, the most famous nobody in the world. However, Daisy soon begins to realise that the "Shelody" relationship is a sham; a pairing of convenience for the cameras, so she sets about winning back the man of her dreams. Ah, but the course of true love is never that simple. Novel. 81,000 words. Status: Seeking a literary agent for this book. Download and read novel extract  About me...
