Folk music gone bad, death by compost, the sad poetry of abandoned footwear and a hamster called Dorothy Parker. Welcome to Miles' world. It’s about to get a little weird.

'This is f***ing hilarious. This is the sort of book I’d buy in an airport and have to move my seat because I’d be laughing so hard I’d annoy the person next to me. Talented writing and thanx for the smile.'
This review was written by The Skaterwriter. It was the first on-line review I received for Slips, Trips & Falls:
'A serio-comic novel about a forty-something control freak who finds himself on the run with a beguiling, pregnant stranger.'
That's the short pitch.
The 'elevator pitch' I believe they call it in the movie business.
You have to imagine you have a captive audience for a very limited time.
You need to hook them fast and make them eager to hear more.
What if they want to hear more?
Um, OK...well...let's suppose we're in a much taller building...and...they've stopped struggling for a bit.
I guess we'd just start anywhere really.

So you drag the pregnant, suicidal girl from the canal at no small risk to your own personal well-being, yeah? A simple ‘thanks’ might be nice, right? But instead you find that she’s actually pissed at you. Well, it’s the sort of thing that can fairly upset the rhythm of your day – y’know, your routine?
Yes, routine is important to Miles. Reacting against his hippy upbringing he has lived a life devoted to conformity, his fear of risk-taking preventing him from growing emotionally.
Surprisingly, he has a son – he’s not entirely sure how this happened either – who he takes to the local fast food restaurants with the other weekend fathers.
Desperate to pass on some sort of working philosophy to his child, Miles is faced with a dilemma. He wants him to follow the rules but this has brought him no luck in his own life. It seems that no one wants to take him seriously, not least his ex, the whimsical and capricious Sonia who takes life and love as she finds it.
That is until he discovers the pregnant girl – y’know, the ungrateful suicidal one? Right. Well, despite the initial ingratitude it seems that someone is actually, finally, listening to Miles.
It’s just that, well, the girl’s interpretation of what he says is rather different to what he actually means. Soon Miles realizes that he has created a monster. A monster for which he feels responsible.
Their common journey will see Miles revisit his past, coming face to face with a secret which could either undermine his entire identity or give him the courage to, finally, be himself.
I guess this is my floor.

A great read from Ireland
By Amazon Customer
I read the Kindle version of Slips, Trips & Falls on my iPod (not iPad). Reading on an iPod is like reading the warning label on cigarette packs. In spite of this reading distraction, I found Foran’s book entertaining. His keen observation of modern culture and his sophisticated humor weaves together a story that is so ridiculously funny that it could be true. This is the story of Miles, a recent divorcee with a small son. Miles’s life is controlled and orderly until he meets a mysterious woman in a strange way who is totally opposite of him. This encounter sets off a series of events that will keep you turning pages until the end. M.J. Foran is a good writer and “Slips, Trips & Falls” is a book I will buy when it appears in the print edition.

Life, love and loss - Irish style!
By Brian Foley
Martin Foran is a writer of deftly-woven tales for these uncertain times. His take on modern day life in his debut novel 'Slips, Trips and Falls' can make the reader wince with recognition. While the themes of love and loss are universal and timeless, they strike a particular resonance in the early part of the 21st century as 'Everyman' struggles to find his place in the grand scheme of things, in this newly re-ordered world.
If you like novels that make you think, that illuminate the world around you and what's inside your heart, then Slips, Trips and Falls is for you.
This is an assured debut from the Irish writer. I look forward to his next novel with some anticipation.

a really enjoyable read
By kilkerrin
Slips Trips and Falls is a fine, and frequently hilarious, debut by the author, m.j. foran. It has all the qualities I look for in a good story - a compelling storyline, believable characters that I felt I knew intimately just a few chapters in, along with a wonderful zippy pace to proceedings. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys 'new' writing that challenges the status quo (both in terms of literature and society), as Foran's distinct and unique voice does here
