Special

I completed my second novel - Special - about a month ago and have been engaged in the clock watching, days counting, fingernail biting process of contacting agents and publishers ever since. My first Novel - Maxwell's Silver Hammer - received an eclectic but ultimately negative response from them all so I'm hoping for better things with this one. Here's some of the blurb:-

Matt Blake has an uncomplicated approach to life; do as little work as he can possibly get away with and spend the weekend drunk and high. Love is not on his agenda and neither Vicki, his new girlfriend, nor the vigilante that’s beating up scrotes are going to change that. Unknown to him however and way before he was even born, a prison guard was murdered in a riot, an event that will affect his life immeasurably, result in him being forced to accept responsibility and even, whisper it softly lest he runs, admit that he’s in love.
