A Husband For Patti
by Chris Malan

The Romeo who left his darling daughter pregnant shoved some clothes into his sports bag, slung his guitar over his back, jumped on his Harley and fled.

There was only one thing to do: Walter had to hunt this Romeo down, convince him of his responsibilities, and bring him home to marry his baby girl.

Not in their wildest dreams did Walter and his intended son-in-law imagine where events would take them. Bigger things and higher powers over which they had no control soon took over.

When Jonathan, the Romeo, became a prisoner of war, things looked bleak.

If you enjoyed Forrest Gump, you’ll love this book. It’s a fast-paced romp liberally sprinkled with humour and spans three countries.

Did Walter find Jonathan? Did Jonathan reconsider? Would Patti get her man?

This was a hilarious and interesting tale of a dedicated father chasing his daughter’s baby daddy around the world. Sounds crazy right? It kind of is, but it totally works! The characters are fun, a little campy, and totally believable. I laughed and giggled so much while reading this, it was a wonderful break from the stress of the world today. With a great knack for vivid descriptions, Malan makes it easy to get lost in the pages of this unique, amusing adventure.

I was born, grew up, became an adult, and now I’m old. That’s much the story of everyone who lives long enough, isn’t it?

As a kid, I always wanted to become a doctor. So I did. Even specialised. I’ve also written business software applications. Like dogs, I like technology and technology likes me.

There’s not a politically correct bone in my body. That comes from working with hard, unforgiving facts.

My writing is clear and workmanlike, and I have trouble padding. Why should one use unnecessary words?

Well, that’s me.
