• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A TONIC FOR DESPERATE READERS IN DESPERATE TIMES. These unexpurgated tales of Bones-the-Dog McClafferty, mastermind behind the Chiang Kai-shek Gold Bond Scam, reveal how he also got involved in a bunch of other dumb stuff during his miserable life. As he tried to stay one step ahead of the law. In company of his faithful mutt Rupert, pursued by his Probation Officer and a host of misfits and crazies washed up by troubled times in the Scottish Badlands. Scrupulously researched, they include the lowdown on how Fuck Sake Harry topped the Kinky Kash twins, self-appointed traffic warden, bum and vagrant Hughie the Bear got elected mayor of Sunny Groodge and McClafferty got caught up in the nappy rage. Regressed to babyhood, diapers and dummy tits. Got his poor old mom feeding him baby food. In his cot. His chequered career, pieced together from horse's mouth revelations and eye-witness accounts, reveal new aspects to the man. Driving force behind the nationwide Sunny Dog Haircut and Shampoo Parlours, he also did a stint as a private eye in the Blue Diamond affair involving psycho Horseshoe McCann and the sleezy Duke of Magoiyle. Victoria Teague, who hired him for the job, was nearly his undoing. Goggle-eyed, till he discovered she was into S&M and specialized in horsewhipping clients with barbed wire in the dungeons under the mayor's office. But it was not all bad. He also helped locate Mrs. McGreevy's runaway parrot, got Lobey Dosser, the legendary dopey sheriff of Sunny Groodge, rehabilitated historically. After his tomb (and his two legged-horse Fidelo) was unearthed deep under the ground. A tragedy that the Great Sunburst blew out the energy grid. He was destined for greatness. No conclusive evidence has been uncovered by the author of Rupert's alleged psychic powers. Ditto his gift of the second sight. So far.To date.

Autorenporträt

Patrick Farnon is a Scottish journalist and author. His short stories have been published in magazines such as Barcelona Ink, The New Edinburgh Review, the Collins Book of Scottish Stories, Stand magazine etc. The Scots Way to Santiago, a 2,000 kilometers trek along the pilgrim roads of Spain at a time police were hunting the thief who stole the Holy Book of St James (the first travel book) from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. According to the Holy Book, the unsavory Navarrans wore kilts and were descended from the Scots. Published in 2015, it reveals other connections between Scotland and Spain in Medieval Times. Under Dali Skies, (madder than the wind) chronicles artist Salvador Dali's life from spoiled childhood in Figueres to his glory days in New York where he degenerated into a seedy old Wizard of Was.To inject a modicum of reality (and relief) into the artist's extravagant life, the author (who lived in Dalí Land for more than a decade) also includes some tales of village folk and the raging Tramuntana wind. Reputed because of its ferocity to drive locals mad, it shapes the character of the people on this windy coast. Scheduled to appear in May 2019. Over 70,000 words, two thirds of the text is devoted to Dalí and his doings. Scrupulously researched, it contains much new material on the Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí (from Spanish and Catalan sources) as well as on his manager, muse and wife Gala.
