Comments about the beauty of the Ribble Valley. My favourite comments are from anglers who haven’t been for a while and who have got in touch to say they are inspired to dust off their gear and get out again. Thanks to everyone for sharing etc Damon and I are thrilled with the responses.

Anarchy Pie is now available as a paperback or kindle. You can buy from either Amazon or from me at my website www.terminalchancer.co.uk

Pre orders will be posted next week -

Back cover reads

Lo-fi adventures dancing to a post Covid frequency with a constant background static noise of fear and anxiety.

Following on from where Terminal Chancer and Hooked on Hope left off. Boo Gilbraith emerges from lockdown after choking on the splinters of Covid. Armed with a new resolve to fish more and to reinforce his own small mundane world.

Join him and his conflicted and dislocated associate Lamont as they search for life’s treasures along the banks of the river.

Expect - ghosts, witches, mortality, grief, romans, folklore, killer dogs, giant salmon, epic trout, stupidity, wisdom and lots of laughter

Reader comments include - I've got over two hundred fishing books at home, from Farson, BB, Gierach, Rangley Wilson to Falkus but none of them are like your book. Somehow your book spoke to m…

The book is being proofed this week. Copies should be available in about two weeks.
You can expect a blast of humour - treasure hunts, murder, folklore, grief, romans, witches, local cuisine, music, time travel, rituals, sacrifice, giant salmon, massive trout, corrosive prose, pathos and trauma (plenty)

100% guaranteed NOT to improve your angling skills.

This from one of my pre order punters - "my husband has just read one & two - Ive never heard him laugh so much. So we cant wait for number 3"
