The Westside Obsession
The Westside Obsession is over. Who would have thought?
Thank frog! Yet unexpected.
Over a two-month period, innocence is shed from both sides of a pointless clash. Lines are breached, mostly for the purpose of photographic ventures and turned into a comic book.
Macho, obstinate security guards vs a BMXing female protagonist...
The Westside Obsession is based on true and accurate accounts that took place at a Perth site casually renamed, 'Westside.' The true location, certainly not of any interest to a budding sleuth.
Whilst an ethical approach in life is to view stories through two sides, that isn't necessary in this case, as the author is female and honest. Both favourable traits, if gender can honestly be called a trait and if a trait can be honest is a dispute not worth delving into.

About the author
Delphine Jamet
5 books13 followersWHAT I DO: I research and report on social issues including youth homelessness, juvenile justice, police, crime and drugs for my publishing company Streetkid Industries, based on my personal experiences of living on the streets and as a youth worker. I write to motivate, educate and captivate struggling young people into reading books that can help them make the right decisions in life.
WHY IT WORKS: What I have found is that young people want to read about kids who have made bad decisions to see what their life is like. Parents have also found that reading our books can help inform them when making decisions that affect their children. In addition, professionals such as teachers, librarians and youth workers have found our books, in particular, Deep Into Dark to be useful to help them understand the issues that non-mainstream kids face but find it difficult to discuss.
HOW IT WORKS: Our books also helps young people and juvenile offenders to read because we write our non-fiction work in a fiction format and before they know it, they are engaged in the story and learning at the same time! Our new non-fiction book ‘Deep Into Dark’ is the story of a naïve middle class girl who leaves home to live on the streets. It provides a well-documented and insightful story about the homeless community and also includes resources for further reading. You can read the first chapter for free from the Streetkid Industries website: www.streetkidindustries.com
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help especially in the fields of criminal investigation, youth work, juvenile offending and social issues.
