* * *

"Smack-dab, in the Middle of Nowhere" is a post-apocalyptic comedy novel about a grumpy bar owner desperately trying to save her home and livelihood from the perils of the Waste - perils like bandits, tax, and...tourism?

Think Terry Pratchett meets "Fallout", but not as good as either.

“Bert’d be damned if this bar did anything other than thrive. Smack-dab would prosper, or she'd shoot folk until it did.”

Bert is the takes-no-crap bar owner of Smack-dab, a struggling tavern halfway from nowhere to nowhere else. All around her is the barren, post-apocalyptic Waste, a terrifying place plagued by villainous bandits, ravenous monsters, and Things that go bump in the night (and also eat you).

The Waste is in turmoil. Lord Ash has been overthrown, replaced by a terrifyingly powerful giant hell-bent on taxing anyone and everyone that can help fund his devious master plan. Smack-dab is threatened with total destruction, but Bert has a plan of her own. Can she rally enough help to fend off the bandits?

Strange and hilarious, “Smack-dab, in the Middle of Nowhere” is the fresh new face of the post-apocalypse, even if that face has more creepy mutant eyes than you expected.

About the Author: Duncan P. Pacey is a Scottish-born comedy writer living in Auckland, New Zealand. He has long been a firm proponent of the intelligently silly, taking great inspiration from the likes of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and the occasional fart joke. He spends his days working in content marketing, and his nights watching silly cartoons with his partner. He would like very much to write in this bio that he "lives a quiet life with his six dogs and fourteen cats", but sadly that would be a lie. He does, however, have a rather fine stuffed reindeer known as Mr Moose (on account of some early confusion), and is proud to say that he knows five reindeer facts.
