TheWriteReads Blog Tour Spotlight | Maybe It’s About Time | By Neil Boss

Dear Bookbugs,

 

 

 

 

In today’s TheWriteReads blog tour spotlight, we have “Maybe It’s About Time” by Neil Boss. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Synopsis :

 

 

 

 

 

Two people trapped in their different worlds. One by wealth and one by poverty. Twenty years working for The Firm has given Marcus Barlow everything he wants but has taken his soul in return. Finding a way to leave has become an obsession.

Claire Halford’s life hits rock bottom when she is caught stealing food from Tesco Express. Left alone by her husband with two small children and an STI, her suicide music is starting to play louder in her head.

A chance meeting brings them together. As a mystery virus from China starts to run riot across the country, their world’s collide and they find they have more in common than they knew.

Set in the early months of 2020, Maybe It’s About Time is a story about the difficulty of changing lives for the better. Starting as a funny and satirical view of the egocentric world of professional services, it gives way to a heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship that rejuvenates Marcus and Claire, giving them both hope for a better future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About the Author

 

 

 

 

I retired from a career in the corporate world in November 2019 with three objectives. To travel around the world and fly fish in the most exotic locations, to play my electric guitar better than I do and to write a novel that I could be genuinely proud of. The pandemic and lockdown in March 2020 put my first two objectives on hold leaving me no option but to start writing. Two and half years later, ‘Maybe It’s About Time’, my first novel, was published.

As a piece of work, I am incredibly proud of it. It makes me laugh and cry in equal measure. I am even more proud that readers seem to be enjoying it just as much and it is getting great reviews.

Travel and fly fishing has now started again, my guitar playing is improving and a sequel to ‘Maybe It’s About Time’ is planned to start in 2023!

 

 

 

 

Honestly, I haven’t yet read or watched any content that is set against the backdrop of the pandemic. But if that doesn’t bother you, then go for this heartwarming tale that talks about keeping hope alive amidst the harsh realities of life. 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Reading Everyone!!
