SECOND CHANCES involves the cheeky misadventures of a novice Angel named Abso, who has to make up for a serious misdemeanour in Heaven and is sent to serve as penance by taking over the identity of a prominent Corporal of the elite King's Guards.

The novel explores Abso's adventures and the interesting mix of characters he meets in order to thwart a daring assasination without arousing suspicion of his special powers. He has help from his Mentor, Master Guardian Anchorius. The story has elements of a hilarious court intrigue, having to train the Queen and her Maidens on the Art of War, keeping an eye on the impish Royal children, as a court romance between the Captain of the King's Guards with a Queen's handmaiden occurs by accident. All this with a backdrop of the threat of an uprising, the clue of coloured underwear and preparation for a supposed truce between two warring parties. The climax at three main battles is a hilarious sequence of imagination and quirky invention.

SECOND CHANCES demands a suspension of expectation as it transports its readers into the realm of action-comedy in every sense. There are plans afoot for sequels.
