Truth is stranger than fiction: The next book

Today I was lucky enough to spend at least an hour writing, which meant I was able to edit three or four of my chapters of the next book, a novel titled "Just and Equitable"

Here is a synopsis of the book to wet your appetite.

Just and Equitable
By
Tanya Thistleton

Meet the characters:
Melvin Goodheart: thirty something all round good guy; typical Aussie bloke who had thought he picked a winner when he married Melanie.

Melanie Goodheart: bitch on wheels.

Melvin, also known as Fozzy to his mates, comes home on his sixth wedding anniversary to discover the love of his life, his wife, in bed with another bloke.

Not hanging around to find out answers to questions he is not sure how to ask, Fozzy does the only thing possible. He flees from the ugly scene to find somewhere where he can drown his miseries.

Days later, with a severe hangover, Fozzy returns to reclaim his house and throw the bitch out. Until he discovers Melanie has changed the locks.

Not to be deterred he smashes the back door. Inside Fozzy finds the place even less welcoming with most of his belongings packed into boxes.

After an altercation with his ex wife Fozzy once again has no option but to flee the former matrimonial home, which happens to be in his sole name.

There are incidents of revenge, Police involvement, as well as accusations of malicious damage and wasting of money from both sides.

Melanie, better at manipulating the system, uses all the tactics she can to stop Fozzy coming back into the house, including getting the Police to take out an apprehended domestic violence order.

Then there is the Family Court. Melanie commences proceedings to go after Fozzy’s fortune, a piece of Sydney real estate.

Will Fozzy walk away with his dignity and financial affairs in tact or will Melanie get the better of him? You will have to wait for the book to join Fozzy on his journey of self discovery.
