Content warning: Depictions of animal suffering. Might put you off your next meal.***********It was pitch black when Greedy Gary shuffled out of his house at 6 am one freezing January morning. Everyone knew him as Greedy Gary because he loved his grub and ate massive portions of meat for every meal. Whether it was bacon butties, burgers, fried chicken, or his personal favourite, lamb doner kebab no salad — Greedy Gary lived for meat. Gary didn’t love his nickname, but he’d grown tired of telling pe...
Outstanding reviews
Hi, thank you for reading, I'm glad it made you laugh and you appreciated the message behind the silliness.

Too British for the American market but just the kind of whimsy I enjoy. A refreshing retake on A Christmas Carol with a serious environmental message to boot.
Thanks for taking the time to read and share you thoughts. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, our friends across the pond might not be familiar with baked beans and butties :-)
No nerdiness at all crept into this ( I read your bio!). I thought it spot on for the target readership with a great balance of humour and moral message. The redeploying of the three ghosts was a clever one which delivered humour then pathos. Well done!
Ha, yeah I write this for my kids, so a fun departure from the sci-fi norm for me.Thank you for taking the time to read it and your kind thoughts.
Really enjoyed this; a fabulous piece of writing which, first of all, had me giggling,. Then of course, as in every great kid”s story, comes the moral…. Very well put across,The vocabulary you use and playful tone is perfect for your audience. The use of ghosts past, present and future then fit perfectly to your not so light- hearted message. 👏
Thank you for taking the time to both read the story and write such a wonderful review. I'm glad it gave you a giggle and the moral comes across well for you.

Thank you so much for reading and your considered review Michal. Glad you found the story both fun and thought provoking. A Carnivorous Carol - love it!Yes, it's the hyper industrialisation of our meat industries that had led to shocking animal welfare standards and is a key driver of global warming. But many people don't want to hear it.
😂 Very funny M.A.! Kevin Bacon and all! Loved it!
Thanks for reading Karen, glad it gave you a giggle. My most mature work yet...
A cautionary...meal!Very inventive and fun. But also gross! No sausages for breakfast here today! The dialogue is very natural and real for this whimsical tale with an important message. The chicken scene is rightfully horrifying.
Hi Derrick, thank you for bearing with the gross bits - I wrote it for my 8-yr old son, hence the high-brow humour. Glad you picked up on those aspects and I hope you had something nice for breakfast!
