Weed started as a facetious, throw-away short story but, appropriate to its name, grew and grew and grew until it became a novel.
Weed is currently available as an ebook and may eventually be out as a paperback.
I have an 8,000 word sample prepared in .pdf or you can read the sample online: be warned, it is a big page. See below for links.
If you wish to contact the author to read the whole manuscript or for
any other reason, email me here.

Robert D. Weed is a regular sort of chap doing the best he can. Unfortunately by the standards of everyone at Daikon AirCon, the mega-corporation where he works, his best is useless.
Weed's problem is that he is a human ... weed.
Weed is currently available as an e-book from Smashbooks.com and Word Power Books

Words of praise for Weed
From a publisher in London:
"... it’s really witty and very strong ... I would compare the writing to Robert Rankin, or a really satirically biting Tom Sharpe, and will say again that I’m really impressed by it"
Sort of words of praise by another publisher:
" .... it proceeded to the advanced stages of the [selection] process."
An agent wrote on the cover page of the returned manuscript, which incidentally came back without its nice plastic cover, and which may or may not constitute praise:
"It's not boring but I suppose you've placed it already."
Well, no I hadn't, but but I have now, thank you.
Words of praise from an author:
"It is the funniest and only novel I have written."
Comment from a random mother:
“It’s so funny I weed myself.
