Australian celebrity painter Ron finds fame, love and tragedy. First love Mercedes leaves him to have an abortion, but instead marries a corrupt Indonesian general and fosters their daughter, Liana, with fundamentalists while she pursues a television career. Ron marries art agent Zoe, who defrauds ARTAID, destroying his reputation, as the Establishment conspires against his royal romance. Forced from London, he fights paedophiles in Indonesia, angering the perpetrators. Intrigue, terror and inspiration lead to the Bali bombings. Ron is injured, Liana disfigured. Mercedes, reunited with Ron, makes medical history. At Ron's celebrity-packed funeral, Liana defies terrorist orders and embraces love.
This lively collection of short stories covers a diverse range of categories, including historical fiction as in 'The Diggings Are Silent', contemporary humour as in 'Tell It To The Marines', and gothic fantasy as in 'The Boy'. All stories are highly original and succeed in amusing or shocking the reader. There is more than a hint of larrikinism permeating the pages especially in the historical tales. The contemporary stories highlight modern foibles while the fantasy stories are confidently written with a strong touch of black humour.
