How does one start a blog with the sole intention of
flogging a novel one has written?
How does one convince prospective buyers to buy a copy of
one’s novel when the subject of that novel is nonsense?
The Vernham Chronicles is a nonsensical trip into an
imaginary English village where its natives are less than normal.
Here is the rear cover blurb that sums up this little novel
well:-
Vernham, a pretty but mindless
little village, loiters pointlessly in the beautiful English countryside of
Vernbury Vale, almost suspended in time. It's got bags of charm - cobbled
streets, 16th-century houses, and so on, but there's something a bit odd about
it...Vernhamites are somewhat eccentric - oddballs most of them, miscreants and
deviants - but you'll grow to like them. Averse to technology, immersed in
their own quaint rituals, they even refuse the GBP1 coin as acceptable
currency. Alcohol is a big pastime, the vicar being its biggest participator -
but with reverse vandalism rife, Vernham's got its good points! Pity it's no
place for outsiders, but you're welcome to take a sneaky peek. Be warned
though, don't linger unless you're an exhibitionist, counterfeit Scotsman, or
enjoy painting garden snails! Take a light-hearted walk down memory lane with a
difference - it won't hurt. Have fun!
The Vernham Chronicles is suited
to the reader that is tired of the serious world of dynamic novels.
The Vernham Chronicles is a
charming little novel that is perhaps dark around the edges.
If you enjoy a wickedly childish
giggle at other’s misfortune, The Vernham Chronicles could be right up your
street!
