FOREIGNER ON MY OWN FRONT PORCH

There’s only one thing to do when people around you are having heart attacks, being threatened with deportation,

suffering manic attacks of epic proportions, breaking promises, or missing Greyhound buses…
Simply go with the flow and write a book about it.

In 1992, I, an American, immigrated to England with my British wife. In 2014, we repatriated to America to look after my ailing parents. But the Americans changed the bloody country and didn't tell me!

Returning to the Motherland was frustrating for us, but made for a good story--or so I thought.  Mind you, when I wrote this I felt very British and tell the story from that perspective.

Take your pick:

American Goodread reviewer noted: Mr. Casey is snarky, irreverent, and snobby, with occasional wit sprinkled throughout. Maybe it's British humor that I just don't understand. (2 stars)

OR

A British Goodread reviewer wrote: I felt sorry for the author; Yank in the UK, Brit in the US. But its all done with tremendous tongue in cheek humour which as a Brit I really appreciated.  Really good to see the trials and tribulations a US citizen goes through and not just us foreigners! (5 stars)
