Jude Redmond is a writer of sorts and after five pints of Old Blacksmith’s Bollocks cider insists on the word ‘cult’. After eight years of writing mawkish nonsense there are five novels to avoid.

A DEAL WITH GOD
By Jude Redmond (The man who sold his soul to God but didn’t read the small print!)

This book is about communication and the lack of it in today’s society. It has a pace that burns from the page and is constantly unpredictable, amusing and contentious. This is a book to make YOU think!

Jude Redmond is a man fighting with life. His youth would best be described as playing Poker with Fate and he has just lost the penultimate hand and his mobility. Despite this he manages to console, advise and entertain a succession of friends and the lovely Magdalene with whom you will fall in love. Meanwhile he is slowly killing himself and pondering a quicker method. Life is not easy for a bankrupt, dipsomaniac cripple.

This is a nine day roller-coaster through the secret world of quasi-intellectual pubs and the inner thoughts of the dispossessed.

Suddenly a solution to all of his problems presents itself to the hapless Jude. A deal with God? Is this the last hand with fate?

ANYDAY PEOPLE
By Jude Redmond

There is an old story involving two men, say Peter and Paul for the sake of it, who are long term patients in the same hospital ward. Peter’s bed is positioned so that he can see out of the only window in the ward, a view that is unavailable to Paul.

The long, sterilized and white sheeted hours were spent by Peter regaling Paul with the vista afforded to him. The rolling hills, the shimmering trees, the animals gamboling upon the grassy sward. They had a lot of time on their hands.

One morning Paul awoke to find that Peter had gone and, after having recovered from the shock he asked the nurses if he could be moved to the bed of his erstwhile companion. They willingly complied and at last Paul could look out of the window and marvel at the view beyond – a grotty courtyard containing two battered dustbins.
