A Free Lunch [Some words from Liar's Kingdom]
Some words from the middle of Liar's Kingdom - about 22 pages further on in the manuscript. I always have a "bolt-hole" manuscript, for when the main project isn't going well. Liar's Kingdom is now performing this function for Prospero Vint. I've put this with the early parts of LK which I posted on here nearly 10 years ago Image is PD from Wikipedia

this clever teaser for Phil's imminent release of 'Dead Reckoning' a humourous novel about the adventures of a pair of undertakers, is well worth a read and whets the appetite for his books appearance.

Or indeed -
If I'm honest -
Maybe I just don't like 'em
No-one hasn't written one

Assured, convincing writing, a bold and meaningful premise, well handled. Art and how we respond to it is an interesting subject, Mark has made the most of that in this wonderful piece, and that's why it is our Social Media Pick of the Day....
