Carpet Diem: Or...How to Save the World by Accident;

"Douglas Adams meets Heart-Shaped Box...There are so many delightful surprises showcased within these addictive and extremely witty pages. Anderson has a flare for rather classic characterisation from Simon's introvert insecurity to the potty-mouthed loudness of his alcohol-swilling Great Aunt Harriet (one of only three survivors of the Debovar dessert massacre), a double act that should go down in literary history...Must read now! 5 STARS." ~ SciFiNow

"Gloriously quirky and hilariously inventive, Anderson's storytelling challenges that of the great Robert Rankin for sheer tongue in cheek originality." ~ Liam Rudden, Entertainment Editor, Edinburgh Evening News

"A spiritual successor to Good Omens" ~ AK Alliss

'I laughed, I cried, I bought a fireside rug!' ~ Ian Pattison, creator of Rab C Nesbitt

"Anderson rockets onto the scene with this glorious romp of a book. It's packed with laughs, crazy adventures and characters you will love. Perfect for fans of Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman." ~ Kim Curran

"Comedy gold!" ~ Heide Goody

Fifteen years after losing most of his family to a devastating, pudding-related tragedy, Simon Debovar has settled into a life of self-imposed exile from the stinking, selfish morass of humanity. Content that his daily highlights will include hazelnut coffee, a long bath and the occasional jar of olives, his life is completely upturned by the discovery that his ornate living room carpet is the deciding factor in a bet between God and Satan.

When mysteriously well-timed carpet thieves deprive him of the crucial heirloom, Simon is forced to leave his hermit's existence behind for a world of angels, demons, witches and immortals.

And then it gets complicated.
