The Advice Bucket: A Scottish Fantasy Comedy

Merrick’s life is a wild goose chase. Quite literally.

Meet Merrick – an immortal half-man, half-barnacle goose – who’s headed to Islay, Scotland, to join 35,000 fellow geese for their annual gathering. But when a sudden fall from the sky leads to his first wrist injury in three centuries, he’s forced to take a boat.

On the remote island of Scarba, just a stone’s throw away, Gladys waits for answers about a centuries-old secret that controls her destiny.

Meanwhile, Lucy Colwyn is determined to reach Scarba to die – if she can survive the journey. And then there’s Dr. Britten, a renowned neurologist who has just received miraculous news: a dying patient has been cured. Now he must track her down before she does the unthinkable.

But nothing’s simple on the Queen of the Hebrides – a ship filled with unexpected strangers, including three eccentric old ladies with their own unorthodox agendas. As the journey unfolds, it becomes clear that some passengers are headed toward an even greater revelation: they’re more connected than they could ever have imagined.

From the author of international bestsellers The New Mrs D and I Hate That You Bloody Left Me, The Advice Bucket is an original Scottish fantasy comedy, brimming with humour, adventure, and twists that will keep you laughing and guessing until the very end.

The Advice Bucket is the story of an immortal half-man, half-goose that you know you've been waiting for.

Perfect for fans of quirky, magical tales and those who love a good dose of Scottish wit!
