It's June 2016. The peaceful atmosphere of an English village pub is shattered when the annual chutney-making competition coincides with the day of the Brexit referendum. All hell breaks loose when a young foreigner scoops the chutney prize ... but peace is restored by the imperturbable barmaid Fanny - though perhaps more by luck than judgement - in this lightly thoughtful comic novella.

The tragic-comic story of two young men, aged 21 and 18, who fall in love in the summer of 1962, but who have the misfortune to be working as teachers in a Catholic preparatory school at the time. Their names are Tom and Christopher. In the opposite corner to them stands Father Louis, the elderly headmaster. It is his conviction that the sixties will go down in history as the decade which sees the earthly triumph of the Catholic Church. Life becomes more complicated for Tom and Christopher when Miss O’Deere, the art mistress, decides to paint the pair as David and Jonathan and to enter the result in a public exhibition… To say nothing of the inconvenient attentions paid to them by 13-year-old Angelo Dexter.

The Dog In The Chapel

From gilded youth to thirty-something. Young gay couple Tom and Christopher are steering through the minefield of changes in social and sexual mores of the 1960s and ’70s.

The precocious Angelo, still only thirteen at the start of the book, seems destined to create havoc with their lives at every turn, while – with echoes of Dorian Grey – they are perpetually haunted by the disappeared portrait of their young selves as David and Jonathan.This is the second novel in the Dog In The Chapel series.

But there are challenges aplenty to face: disaster aboard a big ship; the tiniest of enemies, the aids virus.

It will never visit the great touring venues of the UK but must set up, week by week, in small theatres in small towns of which McCaffrey has never heard ... and that have never heard of McCaffrey. As the tour progresses events move from the absurd to the crazy ... then to the surreal and beyond.
