Extended description

Jake Pembleton is a singer-songwriter who once killed a man, which still plays on his conscience.

Now he is in real trouble. Ever since returning home to his wife and kids to find his suitcases parked outside his front door, Jake has been holed up in that wild and lawless part of his city known as ‘The Avenues’ with a springy nineteen year old groupie who is so sexy that she nearly gives him a heart attack each time she steps out of the shower.

Jake’s only hopes are that his wife’s new boyfriend will keep her sane, and that he will never meet his suburbia-dwelling parents-in-law again.

Beyond that, he just sits there clutching his guitar, writing his songs, loving his girl, and praying for better days and relief from a day job he is too ashamed of to talk about.

Review by: teresa geering on March 26, 2011 :
(Just Like) El Cid’s Bloomers - Tim Roux

So there I was sitting in this down and out pub in ‘ull sipping on a glass of Merlot when this guy comes and joins me with his pint of Old Perculiar.
Without being asked he starts to tell me about his friend Jake. An estate agent by day and singer songwriter by night. Apparently Jake was married to Cathy and through a complete misunderstanding his wife throws him out - suitcases and all.
Not to be out done he shacks up with a nineteen year old groupie that wants nothing more than the ring on the third finger left hand and all the trappings - or should that be trimmings. The sight of her naked is apparently enough for Jake to need the resuss trolley standing by . Oh and evidently he’s considerably older than her. Finally he does the decent thing and gets her pregnant, but it would seem that paternity is a bit of an issue.
Well to cut a long story short his ex, through wiley ways, tries to win him back.
I was left pondering on whether she would succeed while the stranger went up to get fresh drinks.
I await with bated breath for the outcome from him when he returns.

………… I’ll give it 5/5 stars. I laughed the whole way through and read it in one sitting it was that good.
