Meaningless by RR Gordon:
An unusual, thought-provoking story from the bestselling author of Gull Rock …
Nick Jemand could be any one of us. His job’s okay, not exactly fulfilling, but not quite bad enough for him to look for another one. However Nick knows that he has a good life really – a wife he’s lucky to have, three lovely children and a nice house in a quiet little village in the Cotswolds. What could possibly be wrong with any of that?
Unfortunately one of the main pillars of his lovely life has slowly disappeared over recent years: his children have now all left home. He misses the time they used to run to the door when he arrived home from work. He misses playing football in the garden, hide-and-seek, feeling foolish in the dressing-up clothes his daughter made him wear – and he even misses getting up at six o’clock in the morning to build a tower of wooden bricks. His children were the reason he got up in the morning - and now?
Meaningless is a modern-day parable of a simple man struggling to divine the meaning of life as we all do. Will he find the meaning for him? Will we find the answer for ourselves? Whether this forthright, quirky tale is uplifting is ultimately down to you.
Praise for Meaningless:
“A thought-provoking story that will stay with you for a long time after you’ve closed the final page.”
“Touching, emotive and amusing.”
“Original and unusual dialogue.”

Gull Rock by RR Gordon:
(Book 1 in the Wish You Were Here series)
What would you do if you needed to disappear after stealing a million pounds? Unfortunately you don’t have the money any more which makes it a bit trickier.
Dan Lawrie’s solution is to keep on the move, working a few days in each place in exchange for food and lodging. He gives a different name each time and never uses his credit cards. And he never communicates with his family - well just once …
His itinerant lifestyle leads him to North Cornwall where he finds that he can get casual work in pubs and hotels without too many questions being asked. He works hard in each job, but then moves on after just a few days.
Unfortunately he gets stuck when he reaches a small place called Trebarwith Strand – and the reason is a girl by the name of Sophie. And while Dan stands still, the man who is chasing him is getting closer and closer.
