At a time when estate agents may feel under attack following the Panorama revelations this week, The Neg can reveal there is some good news to bolster down-in-the dumps negotiators.<\/p>\n
A book published by novelist and former magazine editor Dale Bradford has been an unexpected success on the Amazon \u2018sci-fi\u2019 book lists for eight months now, featuring fictional character Eric Meek.<\/p>\n
The book mixes elements of the make-believe with mismatched romance and murder and is centred around the 60-year-old estate agent who discovers a\u00a0time portal in a garage, which he uses to right the wrongs of the past.<\/p>\n
Winford tells The Neg that the book has been such as success<\/a><\/strong> that he has now written a sequel \u2013 The Time-Travelling Estate Agent 2.<\/p>\n The book has certainly found an audience<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He adds: \u201cThe book has certainly found an audience and I\u2019ve been delighted to read so many positive reviews.<\/p>\n \u201cEric Meek has proven to be a very popular character and following this week\u2019s BBC Panorama broadcast, and an earlier study that found estate agents are the third most complained about profession in the UK, the character might even be helping to improve the public\u2019s view of the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n The sequel, which has been given favourable reviews by all of the those who have bought the book is now available to buy and will be followed by a final tome in the trilogy next year.<\/p>\n \u201cThe series is a blend of sci-fi, murder mystery, and mismatched romcom, with nods to Groundhog Day and 50 First Dates,\u201d says Bradford. \u201cIt is set in and around Cwmbran, South Wales, where I grew up\u201d.<\/p>\n Both books are available as an ebook<\/a> (\u00a31.99), paperback<\/a> (\u00a39.99), and hardback<\/a> (\u00a314.99) and both are free to read on Kindle Unlimited.<\/p>\n\n
