Books by Daniel Mccoy

Kind of like a reverse Poirot, or the bits of Sherlock Holmes where he's fresh out of an opium den and suddenly has a lot to say about 'the Orient'. A foreign detective in Paris has to negotiate the delicate situations of art heists and secret organisations, using the blunt tools of racial profiling and blind stabs in the dark.

Has this ever happened to you? You're reading Romeo and Juliet but you keep getting frustrated because there's no bank heists and barely any surfing. You're halfway through watching Point Break on your laptop when you slam it shut, shouting "this doesn't even rhyme!" You're trying to hold a copy of a Shakespeare play and your Point Break DVD in the same hand so you can pick up a cup of coffee with your other hand but they don't fit together and they slip out of your hand so you try to catch them with your other hand but that spills coffee all over your white t-shirt and the play and the DVD and the cup hit your toe and you cry out in pain but then you glance at the title of the play and it's Much Ado About Nothing which just adds insult to injury so you throw your head to the heavens and scream "there has to be a better way!" Well now there is. Point Break and Shakespeare, together at last.

The Chronicles of Glennifer is a story about eggnog, Christmas, overcoming adversity, the importance of getting enough sleep, the reasonable price of postage stamps, camels, and the ins and outs of the human condition. Read it.
