Gk Kingsley

Derek Fitztumbleton, ambitious headmaster of a rural school and belittler of rustic ways, is desperate to make it 'big' in the city. When his wife deserts him for a better life, his quest for promotion becomes ever more urgent. But as an Ofsted visit looms, a flasher, a farmer and a faltering dominatrix are fated to jeopardise his plans... Set within the idiosyncratic workings of a small English village school, Pitchforks & Pi a Coladas is a humorous tale which plays on the gaping divide between urban attitudes and every day rural life. "Pitchforks happily brought to mind the tone and style of a Tom Sharpe novel. Comedy this is and deliciously observed..."

"GK Kingsley writes for fun ... her own and her reader's. But as you chuckle, you'll discover precious gems of wisdom and electric sparks of wit and insight in GK's deceptively simple rhyming verses. She magically transforms the commonplace into the extraordinary, and she may well have invented a new genre along the way: Post-it Poetry." Neil Marr. Fiction Editor. The Bust in Dust has been compiled with one objective in mind - to give folk a burst of joy and a dose of the giggles. Each pick-me-up pearl was originally written to help GK carry on with her writing, whilst she also dealt with all the usual guff that life chucks out. Her hope is that this collection may now offer readers a boost at times too. "I love her light-hearted rhymes, filled to the brim with everyday wisdom " Mariam Kobras, Germany "GK always has me nodding in agreement whilst chuckling about all that rolls my way. An absolute gem." Sam Milns, UK "GK's ability to make you smile is second to none. She encourages you to laugh at yourself, the world, and all in it that tries us."

JudyM, UK "Always thought-provoking, a GK Kingsley poem is just the daily tonic one needs " Gavin Orr, UK "If laughter is one of the best forms of medicine, prepare to feel better." George Houguez, UK "I really look forward to G K. Kingsley's random, pithy and witty scribblings (as she calls them). They never fail to brighten my day." Rob Henderson, UK "Guaranteed to make you think and tickle your ribs." Lorraine Corneck, UK "I cannot remember the number of times I laughed out loud while in danger of spilling my coffee."
