    About this series

    When Byron sells his business and takes early retirement, a short visit to his wealthy brother in a glamorous seaside resort sounds like just the thing before coming to terms with his new status. Little does he know that it's the visit itself and the involvement of family, women, cats and dogs, which determines the direction that his new life will take.

    After just a few days of retirement, Byron realises that he's struggling to adapt to his new lifestyle. He's at a loose end, not knowing what to do with himself all day long. So when his younger brother, Sam, invites him to visit, he decides the break can help him come to terms with the changes that now challenge him.

    At first it appears he might have made a mistake, for Byron is confronted by the very different lifestyle his brother leads. Endless parties, hordes of friends – including some who are far to delectable for comfort – and even a visit by their cantankerous father. It all seems too much for him to handle.

    But, like a school leaver adapting to adulthood, Byron realises that these new experiences are slowly revealing what he really wants – and needs – from his new life.

      Barnes said, 'This place might not be big, but it's sure stretched out.' Polla grinned. 'A real spaghetti town ... it's strung out, and wherever you want to be is always at the other end. I just hope there're some saucy bits in between.' +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Coburn Kenlin is still trying to come to terms with his divorce, as well as adjusting to the new environment he moved to. Gone are the big city ways and the material security provided by a high-paying position in an advertising company. In its place is rented accommodation in a tiny hamlet at the coast, from where he is struggling to make a living as a marketing consultant to businesses in the nearby town. Added to these challenges is the looming visit of his teenage son for the school vacation, as relations between father and son have been virtually non-existent for some years. Unbeknown to Coburn is the fact that his own father, with whom he had himself suffered a similar situation, is about to make his appearance and unsettle what little routine and calm he enjoys. Then there are the 2 bumbling private investigators in whose investigation he unwittingly becomes embroiled because of his growing affection for a pretty journalist on the local newspaper. And a story-telling painting adorning the wall of his home. All these elements move the characters forward on a funny yet gentle journey of self discovery, coming of age, and ultimate reconciliation.
