    About this ebook

    *** This story ends with the main character face down in a puddle of tradie spunk ***

    Daniel never thought he'd be able to afford a place of his own. Then everything changed...

    After the initial buzz of collecting his keys and moving in, Daniel discovers the reality of owning a money pit. Every home, it seems, requires maintenance. But thankfully, a mate is on hand to recommend a plumber to tackle Daniel's dodgy pipework. And, in an unexpected twist of events, it's not the boiler that ends up getting serviced.

    Rough Trade: The Plumber is a short story of 4500 words

      I won’t bore you with all the details. But let me set the scene.

      I never thought I’d be able to buy my own apartment. Having slogged away as an aspiring freelance writer and as a barista at my local coffee joint to supplement my haphazard income, there was no chance of saving enough for a deposit. Let alone have enough to prove a regular salary for a mortgage.
