Half Plus Seven

Twenty-nine years old with a less than healthy appetite for booze and a buzz, Bill lived in a messy rented room, sold his soul daily in a PR agency, and couldn't remember the name of the last woman he screwed. He was a disappointment to his family but indicative of his generation. That was until a £10 psychic and a hanging cat came along to save him. And her, the one whose name he remembered. A coming of age late tale as a jaded PR man seeks meaning and love in his life and addresses past, present and future along with a misfit cast of mystics, tramps, bar flies and copywriters.

Dan Tyte was born and raised in Cardiff, Wales. He studied English Literature at the University of Liverpool before becoming a PR man, pushing everything from professional sports to pop music. He has written newspaper columns, for men's magazines, for literature magazines and was a music journalist, but got out before the beer went flat. He's contributed to Amazon No#1 best-selling PR books. His short story 'Onwards' was published in the collection Rarebit (Parthian, 2014). Half Plus Seven is his debut novel.
