The Chancer

WINNER FOR COMEDY FICTION AT THE READERS FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS 2023 ‘Chance would be a fine thing. But The Chancer is the finest – and funniest thing of all’ – Olaf Tyaransen, Journalist & Author. He was born to be a star. Pity no one else thought so. In 1989, in the west of Ireland, Donnie McNamara, tired of being a family disappointment, buys a one-way ticket to Tinseltown to pursue his ridiculed dreams of acting. Abe Nelson, a fallen Hollywood legend, now wallows in LA dive bars. Their worlds collide. Abe becomes a mentor for Donnie and is catapulted into Donnie’s fantastical endeavour.
