Michael Eden has one big problem as he starts college life. He is good at science and rubbish at everything else: sport, money, social skills and girls. Especially girls.

Life gets complicated when a jealous ex-boyfriend decides to remove Michael completely from the scene. Our story, set against a background of modern Bristol, sees Michael's platonic and romantic relationships unfold.

Autorenporträt
You've guessed; I'm a scientist or something. Yes, this techno stuff was my very bread and butter and, yes, spreadsheets played a big part, but we humans were always centre stage whether as teacher, an OU tutor or latterly a systems consultant to the Royal Navy. Some was easy and some not, but most was enjoyable, whether a lone specialist or a mere cog in some giant project. A whole bunch of ideas would avalanche down when I walked my dog. Why not write a novel about them; perhaps even two? The NHS in Bristol had saved my life, so put this techno stuff behind and try the arts instead! Dare to change! So that's me. I like most humans and other animals but especially dogs and horses. Jazz appeals, classics sooth, whilst rock and pop excites. I might make a stained glass window here, or a ceramic figure there; even take a turn at Charles Dickens. One more thing, I love the beauty of the West Country and Wales, here right on my doorstep.
