I finally typed THE END

Posted on July 23, 2026 by Rob Johnson

After many months of plotting, rewriting, deleting perfectly good paragraphs for no obvious reason, and consuming far too much coffee, I’ve finally typed THE END on the first draft of my latest novel!

It’s the fourth book in my Lifting the Lid comedy thriller series, and as usual, Trevor and Sandra find themselves mixed up in all kinds of trouble they could really do without. There are also a few of the characters from the previous books making a not necessarily welcome return.

However, there’s still plenty of work ahead to make the book ready for public consumption, so it won’t be available for a little while yet, but I’ll keep you posted.

And as a quick reminder, the first book in my ‘Cremains’ comedy crime caper series is still only 99p in the UK, but only until the end of July.

After living in Greece for many years, author and reluctant olive farmer Rob Johnson has got used to most of the things that he and his wife Penny found so bizarre at the beginning. Most, but not all.

This book answers many of the fundamental questions about life in Greece, such as:

How do you avoid ordering a double tomato for your pine marten when booking a hotel room?
