Synopsis The full title of Paul Hammond's third humorous bowls novel is Going Indoors - The Continuing Adventures of a Not So Innocent English Game and Those Who Try to Play It!

Reverend Percival Peabody has the unenviable task of tending to his flock in the sleepy little Suffolk village of Lower South-Borough. He owns a rather disturbed moggie, is always in the wrong place at the wrong time and struggles to maintain his sanity as well as any semblance of order.

Well, that was at least until now.

His fondness for the traditional pastime of bowling suddenly upsets his well balanced life with hilarious results. Once again he gathers his temperamental, flirtatious and potentially insane parishioners as they prepare for the winter season.

Unfortunately, pursuits of passion, the love of one-upmanship, playful shenanigans and sheer mayhem systematically reduce all previously arranged and well organized plans to total chaos.

    "This is a laugh-out-loud read. A lovingly-compiled meander through a world that all bowlers will recognise - featuring the sort of larger than life characters that populate every bowls club in the land . . . Fast-moving! Funny! Fantastic! Enjoy!"

    David Rhys Jones, The BBC Voice of Bowls for over 25 years

Going Indoors is available through Amazon, Tesco, Waterstone's and other leading bookshops.
