“Colin Grey’s life was happy and simple until the day everything changed - the day his wife read THAT book. Suddenly, he was thrust head-first into a dark, illicit world of pleasure and pain. This is the story of one man’s struggle against a tide of tempestuous, erotic desire and the greatest love of all: the love between a man and his shed”.

‘Sheds’ was the stocking filler gift for him for 2012 and is set for success in 2013 too.

Brilliantly written with the tongue so far in … the cheek (oh no missus please stop) Great humour that is right up our… street.

Sample line: It was damp and uncomfortable and didn’t last very long. But it’s true what they say - you never forget your first shed.

Includes some great pictures too. Nearly all of them of sheds. Guaranteed to be the side splitting Christmas Day read this year.
