About “Turning Left at Albuqerque”:

What makes a wife leave her husband? When Jason, a computer-games addict, loses his wife and then his job, that’s the question he needs to answer. And it’s the one question this 37 year old has no intention of even thinking about. Instead he fires up his console, gets drunk and ends up with a place at University.  His journey takes him through the culture shock of studying with teens, becoming an accidental doppelganger and the breakup of old friendships, which leads to the realization that living in his virtual world is not an option when his wife and future baby are on the line.

It is a mainstream humorous novel set amidst Jason’s latest computer game obsession and his reluctant dealings with the real world. It explores addiction, disconnection, online relationships and the hyper-wired modern age, as seen through the eyes of a disaffected geek.

This week:

Jason tries to settle into his new student routines. But wait! Has he made a friend already?
