4. Ed in Paris

Available for over a year

Ed’s friend, and nemesis, Jaz Milvane is to be offered a peerage and is hoping he can use the title ‘Jaz Milvain of Tinsletown’. Ed meanwhile is thrilled when a French publisher asks for the rights to his seminal first work of fiction ‘Who Would Fardels Bear’, and invites him to Paris to discuss the novel on the publisher's Youtube channel. Finally, he can be recognised as the true giant of the socialist realist movement he is, without the taint of Jaz’s awful film adaption ‘Sister Mom’. There is also the added advantage of affording him the opportunity to take Maggie on a romantic ‘Citybreak’.
