Small Fish Big Fish

Stephen McBride has all of the above, and more. But no-one should have to put up with a total psycho like nineteen-year-old Archie Stewart as their neighbor.

Luckily, the younger Stephen has so far managed to stay out of his way. But his real problems begin when he finds some money on the floor of a local shop. He chooses to keep it, telling no-one. Archie discovers the truth and decides to use the knowledge to further his own ends, with disastrous results.

Stephen is desperate to escape Archie's clutches, but the only way he can do so will place his family, his best friend, and his dream girl at Archie's mercy.

This is a story about a group of young people struggling to come to terms with their place in life. It’s about nature versus nurture, truth, heroism, and fate. If you enjoy true-life settings filled with compelling characters and a smidgen of young romance, then you'll love PJ McDermott's twist on the traditional coming-of-age story.
