Win one of five copies of Full of Beans

Full of Beans is author and scientist Mark Wilson’s highly engaging new time-bending novel in the Back-in-Time book series, set in Oxford, England. Phil Beans has a lot on his plate. A dead professor. A cheating husband. A missing graduate student. A mysterious Umbrella Guy. And a suicide that doesn’t make sense. For the ambition-challenged and exertion-adverse private investigator, Phil Beans, who is usually content to use his time-traveling skill working straightforward divorce cases, solving each of these seemingly disparate crimes seems like a lot of work, and (maybe) not worth the effort. But he’s made promises that he must keep, so Phil sets off on his mission of discovering the truth about these crimes, and maybe even gets the girl in the end, as a bonus. Full of Beans is a tightly-woven and fun story filled with eccentric characters, engrossing plots and sub-plots, and a detailed sense of place that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last.

Author Mark Wilson was born in Reading, England, and educated at the University of Kent in Canterbury, where he earned a PhD in biochemistry. When not writing, Wilson works in biopharmaceuticals, currently working in gene therapy, helping to develop a much-needed cure for Rett Syndrome. Not your average scientist, Wilson’s curiosity extends well beyond science and into model trains, painting, music, astronomy, physics, chess, origami, Bonsai, hiking, kayaking, and marathon running — all of which add to the richness of his writing. Wilson now resides in Washington, D.C.
