Her 80 year old Grandmother, Clarinda, is busy conspiring with Kaleen an upwardly mobile fashion designer from Melbourne, the two of them want to bring together money and breeding in the form of Algernon, Kaleen's dysfunctional mathematical genius of a son. In the meantime Philadelphia's Grandfather, Edgar, is also matchmaking and wants to team her up with the son of his World War II squadron leader and a member of the British aristocracy Sir Reginald Houghton-Smythe a globetrotting millionaire with a plum in his mouth and cholesterol clogging his veins. There is a spanner in the works however in the form a punk rocker from London by name of Johnnie Compost self-proclaimed leader of The Great Unwashed. Mayhem and pandemonium ensue and is all seen through the satirical eyes of Lavenham a legal type from Hobart whose idea of a good night out is a good night in.' (Publisher's blurb)
1 y separately published work icon Bigfoot Littlefoot and West : Murder Mayhem and Madness in the Tasmanian Midlands Anthony E Thorogood , Saarbrucken : Justfiction Edition , 2012 Z1908818 2012 single work novel crime humour 'Do not read Bigfoot Littlefoot & West unless you want to laugh, enjoy yourself and feel the woes of the world momentarily lift from your shoulders. Bigfoot Littlefoot & West is pure, unadulterated, cover to cover madness. The two police officers, Bigfoot and Littlefoot, are more like stand-up comedians than serious public servants dedicated to the maintenance of law and order. Thank goodness for Sergeant Elizabeth West who brings a little sanity to the world. Bigfoot Littlefoot & West is, however, more than a whodunit, it is the story of three friends who are there for each other when the chips are down. Bigfoot Littlefoot & West is an indulgence not to be forgone, treat yourself to sheer pleasure, you may never be the same again.' (Publisher's blurb)
1 2 y separately published work icon That Blackfella Bloodsucka Dance! Bruno Starrs , Saarbrucken : Justfiction Edition , 2011 10196619 2011 single work novel fantasy

'In this bold and cheeky meditation on religion, middle-aged muscleman, uncertain Catholic and wanna-be academic Sterling de Bortoli is a self-described Octaroon... Neither black nor white this part-blood Blackfella struggles with concepts of identity, moving between the two worlds but not really belonging to either. Thus he pursues a frustrated, anarchic, homeless existence in Canberra and Melbourne, until, through the influence of the Anti-Christ, his Dark Lord Maria, he travels to Islamic Morocco. It's a land completely foreign to his Dreamtime totem, and it's where de Bortoli learns to be a full-blood vampire ... a monster who never says sorry.'
