Live Long and Prospero

by Scott Pixello

Overview

1983. The Grange Lighthouse, just off the western coast of the UK. Nearest human habitation- New York. Principal Lighthousekeeper James Church settles down to his usual breakfast of whisky and cornflakes. Not together. He has some standards- particularly low ones that he constantly fails to live up to. Into his well-ordered universe comes a scientist to study the nearby puffin colony. This leads Church, and his crew of social misfits, who are forced to share their Captain’s unhealthy obsession with Star Trek, on a strange journey featuring a nasty gang of drug dealers, a surprising undersea discovery and a hamster called Steve.
This is a Young Adult novel with slightly more emphasis on the ‘Adult’ (14+) than previous books by Scott Pixello but not in the sense of being any more grown-up.
Think The Tempest meets Star Trek.

Please note, this is a novella, and priced accordingly.
Like Billy Crystal, Gromit and Boris Johnson’s hair , it may be a bit short but it’s still funny.

About the Author

I’m a moderately-disturbed Brit who writes books. I’ve had seven books of non-fiction published with three different publishers under another name but as Scott Pixello, I've written eight ebooks, mostly dark comedies, aimed at twisted YA readers or immature adults. Luke I am Your Father takes a look at the funny side of unplanned pregnancy,Gothic Girl features a central character that 'goes Goth' and Live Long and Prospero is about a bunch of lunatics on a lighthouse. Rainbow is about a psychic cow that can predict soccer scores and Gagfest follows a heckler who takes exception to a stand-up comedy routine.
I could tell you my real name but then I’d have to kill you and no-one wants that. I’ve got ideas for about another dozen novels so I’m pretty busy. Unfortunately, my wish not to be rich & famous is somewhat at odds with conventional wisdom about how the Internet works, in which shyness is like Kryptonite to online sales. I don’t Tweet or even have a mobile phone. I’m probably the leader of a Luddite cult but no-one can phone me to tell me so. I am on Facebook though- I’m not a total freak (see www.facebook.com/scott.pixello).
