Barely out of film school, Rob Long struck the jackpot and landed a job on the phenomenally successful TV sitcom, Cheers. However, with the demise of the show, Long was faced with the question, ‘Is there life after Cheers?’ Mercilessly witty about the daunting process of setting up a new series and getting it on air, these two books tell the absurd tale of what came next.Getting from pitch to pilot is a tricky path to navigate successfully, from making non-negotiable changes and deal-breaking edits, combined with accommodating the whims of studios, networks and agents, often the finished product ends up a long way from where the script-writer started. With the help of his agent, her constant demands, monstrous salesmanship, brutal irony and unswerving loyalty, Long’s career fluctuates from wannabe to player, from award-winning script-writer to burnt out has-been.And it's all, as he says 'half true'.

Is there more disruptive behavior in schools today?The simple answer to this often asked question is probably yes. But the reasons lie more outside teenagers than inside. For too many teachers there can be an attitude of: "I was a teenager once, therefor I know what it is like." But we all develop in a unique time and the issues are unique to that period. Pressures differ, fears differ. There are times when schools are seen to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

‘The Best Deal’ is a light-hearted three part account of adventures with Jack Russell Terriers in France and England. Spanning some fifteen years it chronicles the life and times of the author’s various terrier companions and reflect the family's changing attitudes to retirement. The first tale, France with Darcey is a lively and humorous daily diary describing their retirement plan to relocate to southern France and a sometimes less than well ordered, reconnaissance of likely destinations. Observing ‘Life’s little foibles and disasters with a more discerning eye’ he records their rather erratic house hunting efforts along the Mediterranean coast with the dog Darcey. Occasionally to be found reflecting on times past he narrowly manages to avoid falling foul of various military headquarters and several sections of the Official Secrets Act. After Darcey’s sad end the terriers Elle and Sam join the family and Rob’s second story No Criticisms describes their energetic ‘You can’t possibly do without us’ sycophancy. The dogs' arrival inevitably results in a change of retirement strategy and further fun-filled exploits with them at home and abroad. And lastly there is Patch, an elderly Parson Russell Terrier who having fallen on hard times, deserved a little TLC in the evening of his years. In a short introduction and progress report The Waif’s Tail, Rob tells of losing Sam and Elle and then adopting Patch. He describes the many problems caused by uncertainty, turmoil and confusion, all of which resulted in a sometimes badly behaved companion and how with time and effort they overcame them. Throughout you are invited to discover his France. Relish the food and drink - lots of drink! Chuckle at the confusion - lots of confusion! Enjoy some gently ironic memoirs, meet the dogs ...and of course, his long suffering wife. Containing a few sad moments as his dogs pass away and are replaced, but never forgotten, The Best Deal is a book to raise spirits and brighten any dog loving reader’s day.
