Plot

Ross' father is going to Argentina to find his missing daughter Erika. Ross is dealing with Fionn's new personality, making an enemy of his daughter, and when he gets caught writing "The Fuck-it List" it's the final straw for Sorcha. She insists that Ross gets a vasectomy.

Reception

Seedless in Seattle was nominated for Irish Independent Popular Fiction Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards.[6] It sold 20,931 copies in 2015.[7][8]

Writing in the Irish Independent, Ian O'Doherty wrote that Ross "remains both a hugely entertaining character and a deeply disturbed and obnoxious moron. That's a neat trick to pull off, and one which Howard does, again, with aplomb."[9]
