Get Lost This Weekend

Lost Angeles is free on Amazon Kindle today and tomorrow.  My roman á clef debut is currently sitting at No. 2 in the British and Irish Isles bestsellers so grab yourself a copy and push it over to top and give me a good reason to celebrate this weekend.

In addition to the semi-biographical tale of Doug Morgan the Kindle edition carries a free short story called Advice From A Dog [preview here] so there's even more reason to grab a copy before the sun peaks up over the horizon come Sunday morning.

Synopsis
Full time whiskey enthusiast Doug Morgan is on a downward spiral.  Over the past two years the Irish man has played witness to the slow and steady decay of his life and he’s finally called time.  Haunted by an unacknowledged pain Doug swaps the white collar nine to five of Belfast for one last charge into oblivion in the City of Angels.  A scotch-soaked stranger in a strange land Doug befriends a series of like minded and self destructive vagabonds who, like him, are aiming for chaos.  In a city that sees thousands of people per year come to be discovered why has one man come to get lost?
