In a rather odd twist of fate, a timid Welsh farmer's son and an angel with a severe attitude problem swap places for a week, setting off a chain of uproarious adventures.
Powys Evans, the unassuming teenager from the small Welsh village of Ponty Bodkin, finds himself thrust into the bewildering world of celestial beings, where cautious angels abound. Armed with his down-to-earth humour, trusty harp, and visitor's map, Powys fearlessly challenges the angels' overly cautious ways, showing them the beauty of taking risks, embracing imperfections, and being able to watch both Coronation Street and EastEnders for the rest of eternity.
Meanwhile, Poyel, the angelic visitor stranded on Earth, struggles to navigate the quirks and complexities of human life. Through comical mishaps and endearing misunderstandings, Powys discovers his hidden abilities to create more mischief than he was ever allowed to get up to in heaven. As Powys and Poyel learn from each other's experiences, they must deal with a mix of cultural clashes, heartwarming friendships, and unexpected challenges. Not to mention Go... Erm... Bob, the big cheese in charge of... well, everything, really. Only Bob seems to be more interested in running a small village shop and pretending to be someone else.
Will they manage to see the week out before they swap places again? Will Dylan ever take off his balaclava? And what on earth is going on with the carrots? All will be revealed in "Good Evans," the new humorous novel by Michael White.
Autorentext
Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects, the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing. Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace. In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music, and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not. Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted on my own website at http://mikewhiteauthor.wordpress.com or via twitter on @mikewhiteauthor
