An hilarious comedy.If you like Tom Sharpe you'll love this! Charles Wilson is a furniture maker and restorer who together with three other tradesmen, have found themselves monopolised by a mutual wealthy client, Frank Knight. Frank Knight is a self confessed picky bastard who fusses to the nth degree over details. dado rails are screwed in more positions than a porn star; leaving more holes to fill than the site of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Frank is the family firm's accountant, and unknown to his father, devotes more energy into squirrelling company funds into what he believes are valuable paintings and antique furniture, and other personal assets; not to mention improvements to his family pile. Friction develops when one of the tradesmen spends more on his mobile selling his detcting finds. The atmosphere is only made worse by the disappearance of a large amount of cash, and the subsequent cloud of suspicion. The proverbial hits the fan when Frank's wife Nisha takes matters into her own hands. Just to add to Charles' problems, he discovers intimate details to his apparently hardworking wife, a Headteacher. Unfortunately the course of action he takes to save his marriage produces disastrous results. Charles believes he has found refuge from The Funny Farm, in a new wealthy client, Rachel Foxley. However Rachel also happens to be young, extremely attractive and single.

Geoff Hancock b. 25th Feb. 1956 I started my working life in agriculture back in the seventies, after spending my childhood split between Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire. After spending several years moving around the Midlands working on several farms, I eventually washed up in Herefordshire in 1979. After taking a teaching degree and short spell teaching Craft Design and Technology as it was called in the eighties, I decided to set up on my own as a furniture maker and antique furniture restorer; which I've been doing now for twenty-five years. I have been married to my wife a Headteacher for twenty-seven years and have two grown-up children, twenty six and twenty-one years of age. (if they can ever be classed as grown-up!) I started writing about five years ago, and on the recommendation of a friend went on one of The Arvon Foundation residential courses down at Totleigh Barton in Devon. The course tutors, all successful authors, were really encouraging of my writing; so my family can blame them for my persistence. The Funny Farm is my first novel, although I did have a humorous article about keeping chickens published in The Smallholder a few years ago. I have left the ending of The Funny Farm open for a sequel, but I am currently working on a murder mystery. It is also currently available as an e-book. Just to name a few of my interests, when I'm not in the workshop or at the laptop writing, I like to relax reading murder mysteries, (with a glass of something, ) listening to TMS, gardening and walking.
