Tom Fletcher sometimes sees people as donuts and uses Exchange and Mart as his guide through a life populated by topless dancers and hippopotami. Frogs, pizzas, water beds, pygmies, licorice flavoured condoms and an ostrich all have key parts to play in this murder mystery; or perhaps it's a love story; or is it just a tale about a man who doesn't own a decent jacket? … and who is Geoffrey?

Tom Fletcher is an unlikely man to save the universe. In fact he is an unlikely man to do anything requiring action, but when the family cat talks to him, then walks through the sitting room wall, even he is intrigued. Someone from a parallel universe is altering the laws of probability by swapping Lottery balls. Soon, Tom is littering adjacent universes with stuff that just shouldn’t be there.

Smashwords book reviews by Barnaby Wilde

Mixed Bag 2 on Feb. 27, 2012

Nicely written short stories with a twist in the tail of each one. Would suit readers with a slightly skewed sense of humour. The only complaint is that there weren't a few more, but then I see that there are more Gary Weston books to explore.
The Fix It Lady on April 25, 2012

Another winning 'feel good' story from Gary Weston. He has an easy writing style and a gentle humour that just 'flows'. I suspect there could be more 'Fix it' tales in his head and I look forward to reading them.
