Raising the bar on reading!
Welcome to "The Book Bar". A beautiful space for you to order up your favourite drink and listen to guest authors, illustrators, musicians, anyone really, who has a love of books. If quiet is what you are seeking you can take your drink and wander to the back of the bar and enter the room "Booked." It is for those who want to curl up in a big comfy chair beside a cozy fireplace and get lost in their story with little or no distractions. Other may join you there but all-in-all it is your space, a place created for you alone.
This is the perfect venue to discover new books, relax yourself, discuss and meet people of like-minds and of course make new friends. I also would like to highlight some great drinks for your enjoyment too from time to time.
Today's author I'd like you to meet is Perrin Brair. Let's find out who he is shall we?

The happy feel-good novel of the year!
"Would you do anything to protect your inheritance? Modern-day Scrooge Hetty Loveridge saw the opportunity to exploit an inheritance tax loophole for her children, she took it.
She needed only live seven more years.
One week shy, she keels over, dead.
Peter and Kate get more than they bargained for as they attempt to fool the tax man into believe their mother is still alive.
At the heart of this fast-paced and hilarious tale is a story about family, redemption, and hidden secrets.
Black comedy at its best."

Well let me jump in here with my take on this book. First of all I loved the cover. I would get the book just for that reason alone, but that is just me. It is perfect for the story within.
I started reading the book a while back and just kept on reading out of pure enjoyment. I laughed a lot, got involved with all the characters and their lives and loved its whole vibe. It is interesting how Perrin is marketing this book too. You can go to his website and get the first part of the book for free (Amazon offers it there free too), and then if you like what you are reading you can buy the rest of the book. I know once you get into it you will be hooked and want to purchase the entire thing.
Here's an interview I did with Perrin just to give you some more insight into this amazing author...
