About the Book

I was born in 1975, Chinese year of the rabbit, Aberdeen year of the carpet. My father was Lord Mayor of Troon, my mother was Chief Flask Scientist for Thermos. One of five children, with 2 elder brothers, Simon and Thomas, and 2 younger sisters, Dave and Chris, I was chosen at an early age to be schooled by the League of Doom. Thanks to the League of Doom's regimented education system, I graduated in 1989, aged 14, with a doctorate in rubber stamp manufacturing. Using money bequeathed to me by an elderly llama, I was able to start up my own stamp manufacturing company, named Debenhams. By 1996, Debenhams was the highest grossing stamp manufacturing company in the world, raking in $14 billion a second. This lead to a hostile takeover by Universal Pictures, who renamed the company Greggs and turned it into a bakery instead. Penniless and homeless, and without the opportunity to put my doctorate to use due to an injunction by WH Smith, who claimed I sent them a consignment of 2,000,000 date stamps with the months written in eskimo, I had to find gainful employment elsewhere. So since 1997, I've worked in a shop. I now live in a mansion on top of Mount Etna. Ok, so this biography is only partly true, but I'm not telling you which parts.
About the Author: George McGachey was born in Glasgow in 1975, and grew up in the town of Kilsyth, where he's lived most of his life. At the age of 7, he took to the stage for the first time, performing jokes as part of a local talent contest. This would become an annual occurrence until he was 11. He was also a member of a couple of youth theatre groups, but gave this up because he didn't want to look like a big jessie in front of his mates. George had a keen interest in comedy since childhood, and cites Morecambe & Wise, the Pythons and Reeves & Mortimer as some of his greatest influences. He started writing while on a training course, and published some of his favourite works online when he started his website in 2010. This is his debut novel, which originated on his website, but has now been expanded for its Kindle and print release.
