Description

Call Waiting is a modern love story of inner conflict. This, sometimes oddly funny story, is woven around the corporate landscape of the communication media. A TV reporter, a former cop, now private detective, weave through the story testing the boundaries of their relationship. Despite themselves, characters find out who they really are.

Editorial Reviews

Call Waiting is a smart and fast-paced story about our times and the ways in which we relate in these times. It is a colourful and imaginative narrative, told with wit and charm. A bright new talent has arrived on the literary landscape.
