Go Away Zone

A romantic small town comedy caper

Beschreibung

A small town. A happy couple. An accountant with a grudge. A corporate deal-maker on the prowl. An unexplored portal to nobody-knows-where. If Beckman Spiers thought life and love had been all figured out when he arrived in Sunrise, met Lolita Milan, and changed his career, he's about to find out things aren't that easy. This quirky town has a secret, and Lolita's ex-boyfriend has a scheme that threatens to scupper Beckman's new job, destroy Lolita's business ambitions, and drive a wedge between them. The only way out may be to gamble everything - even their own lives. The sequel to the original, "laugh out loud funny" comedy-drama "Tow Away Zone" is a dramatic comedy caper fuelled by coffee, friendships and switchbacks aplenty. Beckman and Lolita, in the midst of planning both a marriage and a corporate merger, tangle with an old adversary and discover Sunrise's even more peculiar secret. In a town where everyone is friendly and secrets are rare, they must make new friends, deal with their own unspoken words, and rescue their futures by gambling everything, including themselves.

Autor

Chris Towndrow has been a writer since 1991.He began writing science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 he branched out into playwriting and has had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in his ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in his books.His first published novel was 2012's far-future, post-war space opera "Sacred Ground". He then changed focus into near-future sci-fi adventures, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023. In a similar vein, "Nuclear Family" was a venture into post-apocalyptic fiction.He has always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019's quirky romantic black comedy "Tow Away Zone" owes much to the films of the Coen Brothers. This spawned two sequels in what became the "Sunrise trilogy".His first historical fiction novel, "Signs Of Life", was published by Valericain Press in 2023.Chris then returned to his passion for writing accessible humour and is focussing on romantic comedies. Writing under the new pen name Chrissie Harrison, his rom-com debut, "Floored", published in April 2024 to great reviews, and outsold his entire back catalogue in just 6 months. May 2025 saw the publication of "Wicket Maiden", a genre defining rom-com set in the world of women's cricket.Chris lives on the outskirts of London with his family. He is a member of the UK Society of Authors, the Alliance of Independent Authors, and the Romantic Novelists Association.
