Working Comedy Into a Book

Writing comedy is not always easy, just because I find something funny doesn't mean that everyone else will. Then it has to fit into the book matching the plot and being relevant to the characters. Cuthbert is a man so irrelevant to life that his reflection doesn't always show up in time for a shave. Percy has invented a role for himself as a 'Gardener, man and boy' and if ever asked an embarrassing question about his whereabouts answers "Gardening." Ronald, one of the many visitors to the valley who simply forgot to leave was a mercenary who never seemed to run out of paper targets but was always sending for new assistants. His brother Henry had been a war correspondent responsible for many scoops, mostly because his brother had either seen the incident, been part of the incident or actually caused the incident. But of course you still haven't met the valley mafia or the other residents of the valley yet have you?

The Cuthbert comedy series has three books published so far by Thorstruck Press.
The first is Shakespeare's Cuthbert     http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KW47UL6
The second is How Mean is my Valley    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KVLFGV6
The third is Tee for Two in the Valley  
  http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KVOT7KO
The fourth in the series Cuthbert Death Valley is being edited ready for release.They can be read in sequence or as stand alone comedies but it is better to meet the characters first and watch the eccentricities develop.

UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE!!!

Just to let you all know that Cuthbert and gang live on.  Thorstruck Press is our new publisher and each of the covers is now brighter and bolder than ever before.

If you are a follower of the Cuthbert series, you will recall that each comedy book has its own theme but each contains the same crazy, larger than life characters from the past.

Although the books are part of a series, each can be read as a stand-alone comedy book, so you could just choose which book you want to read depending on the theme.  For example, Tee for Two in the Valley has a golfing theme.

Three books - Shakespeare's Cuthbert, Cuthbert How Mean is my Valley, Cuthbert Tee for Two in the Valley are all available in kindle format and the new release of paperbacks will happen soon.

 We are awaiting the publication of the fourth book in the series - Cuthbert Death Valley.

Best wishes from Patrick (author), Paula (editor/wife), Cuthbert and gang
