The Girl With the Lollipop Eyes
Thor Cole, ex-bouncer turned private eye and self-proclaimed guardian of Pittsburgh’s South Side neighborhood, is looking for a bartender.
Not that there’s any shortage of them in this part of town, but he’s looking for the one that’s gone missing after stowing $15K in his girlfriend’s ceiling. Yeah, the case is a big step up from tracking down public urination scofflaws, but the $10K reward the bartender’s girlfriend is offering is enough to make Thor’s brakeless car stop again and replace his flip phone.
As Thor’s missing person’s case becomes entwined with maniacs in Mustangs and nefarious plots to destroy his favorite dives, this P.I. will need more than a Foreman grill to defend himself and the beloved seedy underbelly he calls home.
Crack a beer. Crank the tunes. And buckle up for an adventure in slacker noir!

The Fifth Trilogy: The Frankie Dale Collection – books 1 to 3
‘The ups and downs of Frankie’s life are expertly written and Roy delivers fun and adventure throughout. A joy from start to finish!’
This collection covers the first three novels to feature Frankie Dale.
The Fifth Tweet sees Frankie accept The Five Tweet Challenge as a way of rebuilding his life after a devastating break-up.
‘… a rags to riches, then back to rags story…really well written and I enjoyed it immensely’
The Fifth Thunderbolt had Frankie working with his hero — Roddy Lightning. Roddy was a teen idol with a habit of marrying his fellow Thunderbolts. A punk rebel in the 70s, a Hollywood star in the 80s, and a junkie in the 90s. At 78, he’s a loveable senior, with a twinkle in his eye, a lust for cake, and a failing memory.
‘… an adventure, a kidnapping, a love story, all told with the author’s deft and humorous touch’
The Fifth Man — a heartwarming tale of murder, theft, arson, love and friendship.
Frankie’s screwed up again — big time. A stroke of luck, most often reserved for other people, offers a lifeline. Writing a TV script based on a true story could be his way out. Trouble is, he only knows half the facts behind a series of daring robberies that ended in murder. Turning detective, he teams up with a lapsed arsonist and sets out to reveal the truth. With his search threatening to put his loved ones in danger, he must uncover the mysterious Fifth Man.
But the clock is ticking, and the killer is ready to strike again.
‘An excellent third book in this funny, endearing, and intriguing series.’
‘A great easy reading trilogy… really entertaining page turners.’

Raw Unfiltered Demented Episodes: RUDE
This is a collection of short and slightly insane stories that I have managed to create over these past few years.The stories range from comedy all the way to horror, and everything in between! Every story is littered with profanity, so be warned!
As ridiculous as most of the stories are, there is some truths behind each story of things I have experienced first hand, or through my peers – albeit slightly exaggerated!
Most of the stories are written in Scottish slang, specifically from the West Coast of Scotland, I just find that it adds to the humour.

Seduced by Greed: The Insatiable Quest For More
This bumper offering of three contemporary novels reveals how criminality flourishes when driven by greed, particularly when nobody has the courage to report wrongdoing.
1. The Whistleblower Affair: Exposing Immorality within boardrooms
A major British bank is in trouble. Investors and account-holders alike are in peril. The rot is embedded at board level. Step forward a highly paid employee so infuriated by his director’s behaviour that he links up with a journalist to expose the criminality involved.
Few anticipate the ferocious worldwide response to the news that much is amiss within this bank; certainly not the journalist, or the whistleblower. Within hours both are put under pressure, from surprising quarters.
Venturing into this field of unbridled greed and avarice, Jonathan Veale, in his wry manner, exposes the criminal behaviour of millionaire bank directors too busy feathering their own nests to deal with complaints about the dreadful services offered to account holders, if any can be found at all in some areas by!
This insightful novel pulls few punches as it denounces these overpaid, rapacious people while informing and entertaining in equal measure.
2. A Chateau To Die For: A Lothario Hell-bent On A Bargain
Property bargains excite Brits contemplating a new life abroad, and French estate agents welcome these expat hopefuls with open arms.
‘Too good to be true,’ is not a concept that bothers dreamers, especially those who have had one too many cognacs and already sold their overpriced homes in Britain for what they regard as the lottery win of a lifetime.
In this diverting story, expat chateau-owners are threatened by an amoral chancer who befriends lonely women anxious to believe they have at last met ‘the right man’. Stryker Upshott’s thoughts are elsewhere, however. He plans to acquire the chateau at a knockdown price as the couple find themselves temporarily stuck for cash. He’s in for a shock. Women, too, can play it rough, and one is briefed to do just that.
And then a Mafia connection surfaces, encouraging both greedy and romantic aspirations to take off in new and unexpected directions.
3. Katie Turns To Crime: Comeuppance for an Actress?
And finally, a female of the species takes centre stage, many of whom have struggled valiantly in the first two novels while, as usual, well meaning men make fools of themselves.
Diamond dealing in Amsterdam, money laundering with a maverick Sicilian in Ibiza, and all the while neglecting her beloved cats . . . what on earth possessed this young now widowed actress to leave her cottage in deepest France and move into circles that would give most of us nightmares?
A few years earlier, Katie Maltravers had undertaken one short role, to help out a friend. Her performance, a real life one, was spectacularly profitable, and the windfall has prompted her to seek further wealth. Soon, nothing is ‘beyond the pale’. Crime awaits, as do complications, romantic and legal. One can only hope Katie eventually sees sense, and repents?
A fitting novel to complete this series of entertaining stories about all too human beings. Of course, we would never behave so inappropriately . . .

New mother Dani has a lot going on. She’s just moved back to her hometown, where her father was once known as the Garbage King; she’s fed up of not being a manicure-sporting, perfectly coiffed Normal Woman; and most of all, she’s worried that her seemingly healthy husband, Clark, will drop dead, leaving her and her new baby Lotte destitute.
And then Dani discovers The Temple. Ostensibly a yoga center, The Temple and its guardian, Renata, are committed to helping people reach their full potential. And if that sometimes requires sex work, so be it. Finally, Dani has found something she could be good at, even great at – meaningful work that will protect her and Lotte from poverty, and provide true economic independence from Clark. But just as she’s preparing to embrace this opportunity, Renata disappears, leaving Dani to step into another role entirely – detective.
Darkly comic, sharply witty and fiercely smart, Normal Women asks how our societies truly value female labour – and what independence really means.

America Fantastica: A Novel
“Tim O’Brien is the one American author whose works I look forward to the most. His new novel’s ironic depiction of a post-Iraq war, mid-COVID, and mid-Trump world is piercing and razor-sharp.” —HARUKI MURAKAMI
An American Master returns: the author of The Things They Carried delivers his first new novel in two decades, a brilliant and rollicking odyssey, in which a bank robbery sparks “a satirical romp through a country plagued by deceit” (Kirkus, starred review)
Named one of Fall 2023’s most anticipated books: New York Times, Associated Press, Esquire, Kirkus, Goodreads, LitHub, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and more
At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in Northern California.
“How much is on hand, would you say?” he asked the teller. “I’ll want it all.”
“You’re robbing me?”
He revealed a Temptation .38 Special.
The teller, a diminutive redhead named Angie Bing, collected eighty-one thousand dollars.
Boyd stuffed the cash into a paper grocery bag.
“I’m sorry about this,” he said, “but I’ll have to ask you to take a ride with me.”
So begins the adventure of Boyd Halverson—star journalist turned notorious online disinformation troll turned JCPenney manager—and his irrepressible hostage, Angie Bing. Haunted by his past and weary of his present, Boyd has one goal before the authorities catch up with him: settle a score with the man who destroyed his life. By Monday the pair reach Mexico; by winter, they are in a lakefront mansion in Minnesota. On their trail are hitmen, jealous lovers, ex-cons, an heiress, a billionaire shipping tycoon, a three-tour veteran of Iraq, and the ghosts of Boyd’s past. Everyone, it seems, except the police.
In the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain, America Fantastica delivers a biting, witty, and entertaining story about the causes and costs of outlandish fantasy, while also marking the triumphant return of an essential voice in American letters. And at the heart of the novel, amid a teeming cast of characters, readers will delight in the tug-of-war between two memorable and iconic human beings—the exuberant savior-of-souls Angie Bing and the penitent but compulsive liar Boyd Halverson. Just as Tim O’Brien’s modern classic, The Things They Carried, so brilliantly reflected the unromantic truth of war, America Fantastica puts a mirror to a nation and a time that has become dangerously unmoored from truth and greedy for delusion.
