Quiet For 2 Years -- Now Here's My Fun Debut Novel!

I can't believe it is two years since my last blog posting. A lot has happened during this time and now I have released my first novel on Amazon internationally and it comes in both print and Kindle versions: 

"Penny Wise -- Spy Foolish"  

What is this humorous book all about?

A 1980’s cash-strapped and bungling British Secret Service finds an economic route to urgently hiring a new field operative, Jasper Lambe (with an “e”) for a special mission in India.
Time and budget constraints limit Jasper’s induction, leading to the equivalent of a baby bird being pushed out of a nest and expected to fly even though its feathers have not yet developed.
The inexperienced and inept British agent muddles his way through a maze of deceit, deviousness and danger to bring the mission to a relatively successful conclusion whilst unwittingly getting entangled in an altogether different one.

A Parody, but ...Which Leader Are You Most Like?

I have been busy! A short booklet has just been released for Kindle Fire, iPad and Android devices. This is a management parody, based on a not so nice experience I faced many moons ago.

The short story is based in ancient Egypt and I wanted to present it in a colourful way but that unfortunately does not translate on the normal black and white Kindle. I have been waiting for some years for a way to produce it in colour - and economically - which meant it could not be in print.

Technology has moved on, so here it is, just the way I wanted it.

Read and enjoy - and then think about which of the leaders you are most like (if you dare!).

Don't forget to send the link of this Blog posting to others who might enjoy the booklet which is available in Kindle Stores in many countries.

 Some comments from readers...

"A real find! I loved this author's style. Many of his tales had me chuckling and laughing out loud; only to ponder more deeply - especially over some of his short stories.Whether it is family life, Indian life or Sri Lankan life' his observant eye and ready wit capture the moment and share it with us. A delight! I look forward to more by Nigel J. Copsey."

  --------------------------------------------------
 "Have read Nigel's book and enjoyed it. It is very sweet/gentle/funny and I liked the Bertie Woosterish style/content used to good effect. Also very much enjoyed the more downbeat pieces on people's lives."

 --------------------------------------------------

"I bought the book "Short Tales from the East" and am thoroughly enjoying the humour. Even though the author's personal experiences were of a few decades earlier, I am thrilled to note how subtly he has captured the essence and heart of things Indian (or should I say Indian subcontinent).
I also like the sensitivity towards the larger audience (other than Indians who would intuitively understand it) and explaining basic Indian words/scheme of life in a simple manner.
I read a story a day and chuckle to myself. Impressed once again with the humour and wit, I hope other people discover this refreshing book"

A sobering thought!

A suitable title for my memoirs - if I ever find the time to write them!
