Day 30 Market Def, Narrative Voice, Synopsis

The story is a romantic comedy. Richard and Maddy provide the romance part, and Mrs. Bowater's romantic aspirations for Jim will help with the comedy aspect. There will also be some surreal comedic elements when Jim interacts with Alice in Wonderland characters. This flights of fancy are prompted by the wooden carved characters dotted about the town.

Realistically the story will never be marketed. Since modern publishing involves having/building a social media following, which I have no interest in doing, there is little to no chance it would ever be published. The ideal reader would be someone who enjoys wordplay and clever references to earlier literary works.

Synopsis:

Not 'Three Men In A Boat' (although there is Montmorency), nor 'Last of the Summer Wine', but three men nevertheless embark on an adventure, a bucket list bank robbery and a journey of personal reflection and discovery in "Everybody Be Cool."
