Daley James Francis

A potty-mouthed romantic comedy for anyone who has ever pined over "The One That Got Away"... After being invited to the wedding of his college sweetheart, Jason Chapman's life begins to crumble around him. But with the help of his two best friends, he's going to face his past, present and future all in one night. 23 years old and drifting through life, Jason's love life is as stale as the bread in his kitchen, and the fact that the beautiful Lila Holmes is getting married is enough to send him on a downward spiral that sees every part of his life suffer as a result. Forced to confront his failures, Jason has to rebuild his life from the bottom. It just so happens that "the bottom" is watching the girl of his dreams marry somebody else... WALKING UP A SLIDE is a raunchy, funny and dramatic slice-of-life story with a beating heart and more than a few dirty jokes.

Daley James Francis has been writing stories since he was a kid. The only things that have changed over time is his spelling and the size of his beard. He has been a freelance writer since graduating from De Montfort University with a degree in Creative Writing and Journalism in 2012, and in that time, has written for many publications, written and produced short films that have been shown in festivals all over the world, and watched a life-threatening number of episodes of The Wright Stuff. He lives in Loughborough in the United Kingdom, with his wife and Netflix addiction.
