C.P. Sharpe's Days of Our Lies

By C.P. Sharpe

What have you heard? Did it sound real or is someone having you on? In an era of tabloid trickery, fake news, and wall-to-wall marketing, it can be hard to tell what's gospel and what's just yelling with good acoustics.

If you are tired of being lied to, know that you are not the only one. Herein you shall find an honest set of 75 common deceits, fibs and fabrications that you may have already been subjected to, or very soon will be. Either way, after reading C.P. Sharpe's Days of Our Lies, you'll be able see through them, and be forewarned.

The lies we tell each other often come all too easily, but sometimes they are also necessary, if only for social survival. This conflict between the honour of honesty but knowing that such candour could ruin your life, means these really are the days of our lies.

Presented as a rapid-fire collection of sarky comments and quirky observations, each entry is attractively illustrated and accompanied by a carefully appropriated quotation to match the mood.

Includes such heavy hitters as:

• "It's not you, it's me."
• "I just need some time to myself."
• "Due to the economic situation we've had to put pay rises on hold."
• "It's not moisturiser, it's 'Sport Balm'."
• "The Earth is flat."
• "Yes, of course I'll still respect you in the morning."

Light-hearted, punky and pithy, C.P. Sharpe's Days of Our Lies will give you reassurance during a quiet moment or provide you with something to share in a louder one. Download today and be able to see it coming tomorrow.

(Although the content is certainly not explicit, some of the themes explored do address life experience and are somewhat grown-up in nature – e.g. relationships, alcohol, money, technology, the workplace, mild sexual references – so in that sense, this book is not recommended for minors.)

C.P. Sharpe

C.P. Sharpe has been writing (what he calls) humour from a young age (well, about nineteen, which, considering he's now pushing fifty, can now be considered 'a young age'). After thirty-odd years of making a valiant effort at joke and sketch-writing, short stories, novels, stand-up comedy, various parodies, videos, songs and articles, he is now looking at re-formatting all that material into ebooks...mostly because he's finally figured out that he can. So far, titles include Days of Our Lies, Antidote to Road Rage and Break the Bullying Code. He is currently bashing away at a follow-up (he doesn't actually bash anything; he's fairly civilised). You can now sign up for his monthly newsletter at www.cpsharpe.com Then Like, Follow and Subscribe @seapeasharpe on YT, FB and Instagram (not X, though - for obvious reasons). You can even contact him directly: [e-mail]. Thank you for showing an interest. Frankly, that's as much as CP can hope for. He wants you to get as much of a kick out of his content as he does. (He won't actually kick you. That would involve standing up. Perhaps an appreciative raised eyebrow.)
