Acclaimed Canadian author Rusty Blackwood, author of the 'Passion In Paris' series, has announced the release of her new short story comedy, 'The Misadventures Of Derwood Tugbottom'.

'The Misadventures of Derwood Tugbottom' is a short story comedy centering around newly retired government official, Derwood J. Tugbottom, an English bachelor who fancies the ladies, but never found one that could take his attention from his appointment until he travels to an active Canadian Retirement Centre. Throughout a series of misunderstandings, mostly brought on by himself, the over-bearing retiree finally retaliates, leaving the retirement centre reeling in his wake.

"I have great respect for the elderly as well the road of living they have paved," said Rusty. "They have experienced so much in life and I adore their sense of humour, which is why I decided to take the elusive character of Derwood Justice Tugbottom, which actually came from my brother's vivid imagination, and put him into a situation where his early retirement took him in a far different direction than he would have ever imaged possible, resulting in a scenario that he would have much rather avoided, yet through it all he never once thought the ending would turn out like it did."

"Laughter is the spice of life, it truly is," Ms. Blackwood continued, "for without it I feel life would be rather dull.. I've a ways to go as yet before my own retirement, but I hope when that time comes I will be fortunate to find a peaches and cream delight and not sour grapes, as did Derwood."

The Misadventures of Derwood Tugbottom is available at Amazon.com, CreateSpace.com, and coming soon to Rusty's website bookstore.
