PlashMill Press is proud to annouce the publication
of Poaching the River, a novel by Rod Fleming
Loosely set "sometime in the latter half
of the twentieth century" the book is bawdy, rumbunctious and hilariously
funny. It is a story of romance told with a genuine fondness for the
characters and the lives they lead.
On a quiet day in Auchpinkie, Mae and her cronies
are huddles in her corner shop setting the world to rights. Suddenly
a furniture van draws up outside one of the houses in The Street. Craning
their necks, the women peer through the shop window with narrowed eyes.
A beautiful young woman is moving innto Etta Swankie's old house. But
wait a minute, that's young Rae Swankie, Etta's daughter, and Etta swore
she'd disinherit her.
Over the next few days the action races to its
riotous climax, as Big Sye, Rae's cousin, poaches the local river in
a daring adventure, the local Public Convenience is demolished by a
mystery explosion, and the parish minister is baffled by the sudden
conversion of two formerly heathenish young lads.
An action-packed tale of love, laughter and
adventure, played out by an unforgettable cast of characters with genuine
Scots voices, Poaching the River will make you laugh and cry
out loud.
The best present is a laugh and Poaching
the River has buckets of those. Why not order copies for your friends?
