All he wants is a cold beer on a hot day…
Darryl is a young man with dreams of a career in music, but life isn’t matching his expectations. Angry, bitter, and lonely, he finds it easier to relate to animals than people. After a frustrating morning follows a night disturbed by the criminal antics of his troublesome neighbours, the only thing he wants is to drown his sorrows. But when his quest for booze goes horribly wrong, Darryl discovers that friends can be found in unexpected places…
An exhilarating tale of heat, heart, and hound dogs, Square Pegs is the third instalment in the surprising and darkly humorous Crossing the Divide short story series, and a prequel to the novel, Taking the Plunge.
Here’s what readers are saying about it:
“Colourfully describes characters that we all know and can relate to. These characters, through their economical exchanges, organically come together to build an amusing tale. Square Pegs is not vague, not whimsical, but definitely put a smile on my face and made me reflect on the characters in my own life.”
“Brilliant story. A neat pearler to relax and read and yet detailed enough to get a good grip on the ‘square pegs’ characters within.”
“Gritty story with great characters; very entertaining.”
