Arran Gimba

Writer's Block Arran Gimba

Tony is a writer of romances and romantic comedy, and his own love life seems to be going okay for once, since he has found himself swept up in a romance with the formidable Ursula (whether he wants to or not, largely, given that Ursula tends to steamroller him into things). They're even due to get married. It's then that Lucy, the lead character from his last couple of novels, shows up on his doorstep. She has been encouraged to take a break from fiction by her friend Penny, after complaining to her about all the stupid, annoying things that keep happening in her life. Yes, characters aren't really supposed to take unauthorized portals out, but she has to know why someone is messing up her life like this for the sake of fiction. And, oh by the way, hunters from fiction show up, determined to capture Lucy. Tony must spend his time trying to ensure that his wedding goes ahead okay and fending off the strange things that have leapt out of fiction, saving his lead character in the process.
