Plentymorefishoutofwater - One Man's Dating Diary

Just a note to let you know my debut novel is OUT NOW as an eBook (paperback July 3).
It's written with friend and journalist Laura Tait - I write the male character and Laura the female. We take alternate chapters so you get a male/female perspective of the same story....

Get chatting to this girl on Facebook - Joanna. A common interest in politics, three inches shorter than me - this could be it.
She's a tad intense, mind. Offers her number, then initiates seven text conversations in one day. Next I get an email with some of her artwork. Bit weird. Turns out she has an unhealthy interest in dead celebrities....

We're discussing dating in the canteen. Eve, our luscious receptionist, reckons we should all get down to Tesco one Friday after work. Apparently it's singles' night. Unofficially, like.
People are dismissive - no one's heard of it. I keep schtum. Need to do a big shop anyway; got no plans Friday. It's on....

A few of you have been asking if I texted Marie. To those people I say the following: she let me taste her fishcake on our first date - of course I texted her.
Plus, she's a doctor, so even if I didn't get a second date, we'd probably end up friends and I'd be able to quiz her on all my little ailments (small nipples, Mildred's depression)....
