Barney

A Novel (about a Guy Called Barney)

By: Guy Sigley

You’re not supposed to get fired from the public service.Meet Barney. He’s an average guy in his mid-thirties with questionable social skills and progressive germophobia. He likes routine. He likes to keep his head down. Life’s pretty safe...until he’s spectacularly fired from a ten-year public service career. Desperate to find a new job, Barney lands a private sector role with a struggling communications firm that has a suspicious lack of clients and is run by a man who wears Hawaiian shirts to staff meetings. The one shining light is Gloria. Fierce, devastatingly intelligent and with a brutal sense of humor, Barney is mesmerized from the moment they meet. To win Gloria’s heart, and his new team’s respect, Barney sets out to prove that he’s more than just a public service reject; even resurrecting a stand-up comedy career that hasn’t produced a laugh in more than a decade. But in trying to be everything he thinks they want, Barney is forced to question who it is he really wants to be.An offbeat comedy with echoes of The Rosie Project, this hilarious and heart-warming novel is a story about the masks we wear to impress others, and the freedom that comes with just being ourselves.

The Best Version of Me

A Barney Conroy Novel

By: Guy Sigley

Barney thinks his life is under control. His life has other ideas. Barney Conroy is on a roll. He's a business owner, a father, and a fiancé, and he only has to see his therapist once a week. The transition from Old Barney to New Barney is almost complete. All he needs to do now is win a wild card entry to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and then make it to his wedding day unscathed. But when Barney's festival entry goes viral, his estranged father of nearly thirty years resurfaces. He also has to deal with a ruthless online troll, the shock return from Latin America of his emotionally volatile flatmate, a potential new stepdad for his daughter, and a therapist out of cell range. This is not how you remain unscathed! As the biggest day of his life fast approaches, Barney knows he must conquer the challenges that threaten to return him to the man he used to be . . . but old habits can be hard to break. And old memories hard to forget. The third book in The Barney Conroy Series, The Best Version of Me is a hilarious and moving novel about love, forgiveness, and facing your past, present, and future - sometimes all at once.
