Get a lawyer, a real Godot one
A-G Brandis seeks
legal advice in fiction
We Australian
taxpayers kindly bought attorney-general George Brandis a copy of the Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot for the bookshelf of his Canberra office.
(That’s
Brandis’s office. Godot has not been seen in the national capital for a long
time; some say never.)

Australian author
Bernie Dowling applauds this promotion.
“I am pleased
Amazon and Bent Banana Books have made Iraqi Icicle available at the eBook
price of .99c,” Dowling said from his home
north of Brisbane.
“I created the novel as a deliberate challenge for the reader with a headache from the sugar-hits
of formula thrillers. Now,
people can read the eBook to decide which friend would appreciate the paperback
for Christmas."
He said the
correct answer to what is an Iraqi icicle was find out for yourself.
XXXXXXXXXX
I have not blogged here for quite some time so I am not sure if you are out there. Helloooow! Helloooow! Anybody there?
Any way, if you are out there, you know the drill. We finish with a song. As this post is about a neo-noir novel this one is appropriate. The video is a cultural atrocity but the song is cool. Cheers, Bernie.

Man trouble is murder for Annie
Annie: Bernie, what are your thoughts
on my character?
Bernie: Funny you should ask, Annie...
FREDERICK
Lee Brooke could be creating a new literary sub-genre – the relationship thriller.
Like all good thrillers, Collateral
Damage crackles along at a merry pace while the reader eagerly awaits the denouement
of Annie Ogden’s entanglements with three men.

Annie get your man before he gets you
I'm BAAACK.
Haven't been around my blog for a while but I am back with the news of a thriller
Protagonist Annie Ogden’s ex-boyfriend Michael Garcia reappears and she has to confront a lie dating back to her service in Iraq.
Haven't been around my blog for a while but I am back with the news of a thriller
Protagonist Annie Ogden’s ex-boyfriend Michael Garcia reappears and she has to confront a lie dating back to her service in Iraq.
Will she go back to hot, passionate
Michael, who has developed a disturbing interest in meth, or stick with her
pudgy PI partner and fiancé, Salvatore?
The dilemma gets more core concentrated
when Michael is arrested for murder and Salvatore refuses to help investigate, Annie
is forced to try to find the killer herself.
At the same time, Annie’s sister’s
creepy husband, Todd, is making more of an arse of himself than usual.
Annie's problems with these three
obsessive men suddenly pale in significance when she realizes the killer has
set his sights on her.
Changing his mind about helping her,
Salvatore is the only capable of finding the killer before it’s too late.
Frederick Lee Brooke is the author of
the Annie Ogden mystery series, which includes Doing Max Vinyl, Zombie Candy,
and now Collateral Damage.
Find the author online at http://www.frederickleebrooke.com on
Twitter and Goodreads.
“This is an intense, can't put down book, that
clearly shows the problems of returning Vets to mainland USA life. Even though
this is primarily a well written mystery book, with P.I.'s at the forefront,
this also shows the reality of PTSD of returning Veterans and the intense
disfunctionality they, and we, have to deal with.”
The eBook costs 99cents; the paperback
$13.19 (strange amount). Interested? Go to http://www.amazon.com/Collateral-Damage-Annie-Mystery-Mysteries/dp/1490571329/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1379326950&sr=1-1
And
here is our Annie song:
Cheers,
Bernie
