2019: A man sees a woman on the television and then sets out to find her…
Written in his own words, and guided by a man who collects glasses in a local pub, this is the story of Herod ‘Rod’ Pinkney’s search for Daisy Lamprich, a young woman he first sees on a decade-old episode of the Judge Judy Show, and who he now intends to marry.
When Daisy is located in the coastal city of Huntington Beach, California, he travels there with his good friend and next-door neighbour, Donald, a man who once fought in the tunnels of Cu Chi during the Vietnam War and who now spends most of his time in Herod’s basement.
Herod is confident that the outcome will be favourable, but there’s a problem… Will the course of true love ever run smoothly for this unlikely hero?
Locations aren’t a strong point in this novel except to show the distance between the two people. London and California requires quite a commitment to travel in order to meet someone you’ve just seen on the telly.
Huntington Beach is just southeast of Los Angeles. It’s known for Huntington City Beach which is ideal for surfing. For more sedate Daisy pursuits, there’s also Huntington Central Park which features fields, gardens and lakes, plus horses and birds.
