A brilliant laugh out loud debut!
"Pluto is in Uranus and for Dave this indicates that everything is about to come up smelling of roses or so he thinks! "
Synopsis
This Christmas Jupiter and Saturn will become closer to each other than they have been for almost 800 years.
It is an event that has set the world astrological community abuzz with the possible consequences of such an alignment and its potential impact on global leaders and world events.
But what happens when an even rarer conjunction between Pluto and Uranus occurs and what affect does it hold in store for the lives of everyday ‘ordinary folk’?
Well, it’s something that Dave from the post room is about to find out. Pluto is in Uranus and for him this indicates that everything is about to come up smelling of roses or so he thinks!
Dave suffers from OCF, Obsessive Compulsive Fatalism, and his Achilles heel is his daily horoscope, which is about to become dramatically affected by the historic planetary alignment.
The lucky omens predicted will compel him to take uncharacteristic chances, cross paths with a hotchpotch of larger than life characters who get him embroiled in situations with hilarious outcomes that are way beyond his control and out of his comfort zone
Pluto’s In Uranus is written by globally unrecognised no award-winning Essex author Patrick Haylock.
Discounting his definitive guide to publishing invisible books Pluto’s in Uranus is Patrick’s debut novel, and it is now available in Bookstores on Amazon and other online outlets.
My Review
While 2021 has not yet been the amazingness that we hoped it would be after the hell of 2020 we are finally seeing some hope on the horizon and while we might all we still working from home and " staying local" what we need right now are things to enjoy.
With holidays been banned we must look to our hobbies for fun and if you love reading like me you might after all these months be feel a little lack luster or fed up of your usual reads! who every thought you could have to much of a good thing was right!!
but fear not because here come Pluto's in Uranus to save the day and our sanity because if there is one thing we need right now its a good laugh! and this read is packed full of them!
With laugh out loud moments, slap stick comedy and double entendres left right and centre this was a real mix of carry on, spike Milligan and Monty Python as in the read we follow Dave on his hapless journey of self made disaster to recover his colleagues money, that he would have had if only he had not trusted his horoscope!
With a cast of amazingly flamboyant and at times quite bonkers characters we follow Dave's journey and his crazy ideas and schemes! this is a book that not only had me laughing but really left me smiling, a joy to read and enjoy
This book is so special i absolutely loved it and have passed it on to my husband who's humour is just on par with the authors and he has loved every second reading it too! If your looking for something fresh and funny, full of dry humour and a story that's as mad capped as the laughs you will enjoy then this is the read for you!!

Author Bio
Patrick Haylock is a globally unrecognised writer who if you discount a school sweet pea growing competition, has won no awards whatsoever!
He was born in Enfield at a very dark time in the world. It was 1:45 am, to be precise, and it wasn’t too long before it dawned on him.
To make something of himself he was going to need two things the ability to tell the difference between a green onion and a scallion, and a good education. Wormley Primary and Baas Hill Comprehensive schools did their best to fulfil both requirements, and after giving them 12 years of his life, they gave him seven printed sheets of paper, and the knowledge that there was no difference between a green onion and a scallion. He also learned that the difference between onions and bagpipes was that no one ever cries when you chop up bagpipes. The certificated wisdom secured a national newspaper messenger’s job, which led to an editorial trainee position, followed by a production editor’s post, and progression into freelance journalism. ‘Knowing his onions’ helped him to successfully establish his own publishing company, design studio, online retro webstore and high street art gallery. Patrick lives with his wife in a converted Old Essex Brewery, where he claims the 6% ABV air quality inspires him to craft his nutty tales. Although a ‘new voice’, in the literary world, those ‘in the know’ will willingly testify that his gift for imaginative storytelling is engaging, and, amusingly unique!
