I wrote a book
Thought i'd post this here - as i now have a website. I’ve written a novel - available here: http://www.midnightpizzapublishing.com
'Sons of The Shire' is a coming of age story that starts during the Cronulla riots before turning back to 1992. It explores a year in the life of a young surfer, Paddy, whose need to belong starts a chain of events that will change his life forever.
Currently available on amazon, kobo, Barnes & Noble and iTunes as a digital download for just 99c – so don’t be a stingy bastard – buy a copy and then write me a review

And yes, that is my real last name.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Downloaded the short story ... Homecoming. Good little read that. Not extraordinary, but entertaining none the least. Great first dig though. It would transfer well into animation or to a short half hour film in a tales from the crypt styled format.
Looks like I'll have to splash out on the other one now.

Re: I wrote a book
Hey mate the book finally arrived this arv...so have spent a really enjoyable few hours on it
Love this chapter...
"Down the street the green leaves of the giant elms fanned out towards heaven, glowing in the setting sun. Magpies and currawongs sang in the gums with a chorus of cicadas. Children played in the distance. Dogs barked and someone jumped in a pool. These were the final moments of the summer holidays and the kids of the neighbourhood were squeezing in one more game, one more swim. They'd do anything to fight the sunset, because if it didnt happen, you would never have to go back to school"
Its really good batoes, be proud
