Fun Is On Its Way
Description
The swinging sixties have just arrived, and holiday camps are flourishing as the first-choice destinations for hard-working British families as they savoured their two weeks of annual fun.
Full of knobbly knees and talent contests, singing and dancing, sand-filled sandwiches and blustery days huddled behind wind-breaks, these stoic holidaymakers accept whatever weather nature throws at them. Determined to have a mostly lazy, sometimes lively good time, their fun-filled days are often tinged by a boozy haze.
It's at one of these holiday camps that Ronnie, Sophia's gay cousin and mentor throughout 'The Cost of Loving' series, and his sister Norma, decide to spend the summer working. It`s Ronnie`s first job, and their co-workers, mostly young people just like them, are 'gagging for it' as their hormones pulse and throb in their new-found and thrilling freedom.
Ronnie is wide-eyed as he discovers new people, new excitement, new thrills and new fears away from the safety of home and family. And - for the first time - he discovers the joy of sex. That is, he planned to, until those plans are unexpectedly thwarted…
Enjoy this rollicking romp as Ronnie's and Norma's desires collide with hilarious and unexpected consequences.

Person
Martin Humphries is a first time author who, once he started writing, couldn't stop. Now, after five industrious years, Martin has completed 'The Cost of Loving' Series of which 'Can't Buy Me Love' is the first volume.
Five more volumes, 'Love For Sale', 'Free Love', "Love Don't Cost a Thing', 'The Price of Love' and 'Love Hurts' complete this dramatic coming of age story that spreads over two decades and two continents. It is a bittersweet, rollercoaster ride of a life lived in the spotlight and with the dark side well hidden from view.
After so many decades of life, Martin is full of stories that need to be told and is busy working on several of them right now. These include a sequel series to 'The Cost of Loving' that follows our cast of characters through 'The Plague Years' of the 1980's and beyond, when AIDS changed everything.
Martin lives quietly on Gabriola Island, one of the Gulf Islands off Vancouver, on Canada's wild and rugged west coast, but enjoys some excitement vicariously through his lively cast of imaginary characters.
It's a wonderful place to write, surrounded by so many other creative people, his partner of twenty three years, Paul, and the best dog in the world, Alfie.
