Lynne Gumbleton

You’re never too old to try something new.
That’s why we decided to have a crack at writing our first comedy novel in our sixties.

We write comedy misadventures for those who enjoy a smile and don’t want to take life too seriously.

Our lives both before and after we met and married have been full of surprises, funny incidents, and bizarre situations. We have both lived through ‘interesting times.’ What has kept us going through good times and bad has been our shared ironic sense of humour and strong self-belief that there will be a path through to better days.

We’ve tapped into our memories with our writing. Adding a good splash of over-active imagination and incredulity to come up with the characters and plots.
