John Hollenkamp created The Darren Mangan Thriller Series with STEALTH, followed by A TROPICAL CURE, and now a third in the Series, WIRED. Darren is a dry-witted, good-looking Queenslander, (some people think he resembles the chap in Magnum PI, Tom Selleck) except a cabdriver doesn't make the same coin as a Hollywood actor. And that's where Darren's life runs a fine balance between good and a little bad...
Rich in colloquial dialogue, and coarse language, the stories reflect a realistic part of 'hard bloke' blue-collar Australia, set from Sydney's Manly & the Northern Beaches, to the South Coast of NSW before ending up in Tropical North Queensland.

John Hollenkamp's stories feature colourful, fictional characters. His crime-fiction stories

At some point, I do walk away and take leave for a few days, sometimes a week or more. I don't fight it. Eventually it comes together.(less)

johnsreviewblog: I, the Aboriginal

A path for learning…

A fascinating read, I, the Aboriginal. An autobiography written by Douglas Lockwood about Philip Roberts, an Aboriginal man who’s real name is Waipuldanya, before becoming a ‘citizen’ of the Northern Territory. Waipuldanya’s life story begins with his recollection of being a piccaninny, and his tribal upbringing. The story depicts an Aboriginal culture which is rich in rituals

“Don't cry for publishers, paper books ain't dying.”
Declan Conner

Jock Serong
“The outfield's billiard green: no bare patches, no flowers. The things that are painted white-the sightscreen, the pickets around the boundary-are so white it hurts. The hoses and the boundary line are white. The entire playing surface is perfectly flat and level. And in the middle of the ground, across that wide carpet of perfect grass, the holy of holies.
A turf wicket.”
Jock Serong, The Rules of Backyard Cricket

Stephen Fry
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

[I saw hate in a graveyard -- Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]”
Stephen Fry

“Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.”
Rob Reiner
