    About this ebook

    The Short Skirt And Other Problems : "Morning's come and gone and appears not to be out of breath. Whereas I'm still crawling out of the wrecked night on all fours screaming all kinds of rabid sh*t."

    Firstly, check my website out for a free copy instead. Otherwise: Short skirts have a way of making a man's mind wander. Short skirts were everywhere. He went to work and there were short skirts. He went to lunch and there were short skirts. He came home and there was incredibly sexy, but emotionally aloof, Bobbi-Jean - in a short skirt.
    Directly, indirectly, probably, the short skirt was responsible for so much already - wars, love affairs, famine, horrific art. And, as already mentioned, short skirts were every where...! Basically, this meant trouble, with a capital "T".
    And that's the last thing any guy needs: Trouble.

    What follows is a litany of shady encounters with tricky landlady's, devious actresses, unhinged a-hole employers and, far, far worse: Lying, time-wasting degenerate customers. And that's before even taking into account the government, possibly rogue, operation to kidnap someone.

    Lurid, uncompromising and hilarious, packed with literary lowlife misadventures comes "The Very Short Skirt & Other Problems" - Gritty, Funny - Definitely Different, "The Very Short Skirt & Other Problems" Is A Good, Old-Fashioned Funny Story Of Poverty, Love, Madness And Desperation...!

    Dear Reader,

    If you enjoy the humor and references often used by writers such as Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, John Irving's earlier stuff, Ken Keysey, JD Salinger, Tom Robbins, Dan Fante, maybe even John Fante, J.G. Ballard, Chuck Palahniuk, Will Self, Dennis Cooper, Martin Amis, Anne Sexton, Jay McInerney and others, if you enjoy funny writers, writers with an edge, writers who are politically incorrect, writers who don't take their literary "masterpieces" too seriously, writers who can laugh at themselves, then this is for you.

    *Check my website out for a free copy instead.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this,
