Woke Alarm! If there was an award for anti-woke fiction writing (as there possibly should be), then I humbly submit that my PI Harry Kenmare stories would at least make the short list. As a writer, I believe in free and frank expression, and I pander to no one. If you like hard-core crime fiction, give PI Harry Kenmare a try. Cheers, ABP

Woke Alarm! This is a book that had the woke brigade clutching their pearls and wetting their panties. They were utterly beside themselves, and you should have seen the abuse I copped. That’s life, I’ve got broad shoulders, and I’ll write what the hell I want to write. If you like hard-core crime fiction, give PI Harry Kenmare a try. Cheers, ABP

Aussie crime fiction at its most hard-core!

Want some great Aussie storytelling to keep you on the edge of your seat???
If you like your crime fiction brutal, sexy, and swimming in old-school justice, then the PI Harry Kenmare stories are what you’ve been waiting for.
Dark, debauched, and disturbing, they tell stories about crime and corruption as it really happens. I should know as I’ve spent a career investigating the sleaze in our society. My writing is not for the faint-hearted. You need to buckle up and bite down for these rides. There’s a solid reason I’ve been called “The bad boy of Australian crime fiction”.
The three novels in order are “Harry’s World”, followed by “Harry’s Quest”, and then the explosive “Harry’s Grail”. And the short story collection are all stand-alone yarns, with Harry telling it in the first person.
If you’re in Australia, I can send you signed paperback copies – just MESSAGE ME.
If you’re overseas, then all the usual online outlets stock my work. I can also post to you, but the postage cost is truly criminal!!!
And e-books are also available across the various platforms.
Cheers, ABP

"Higher #education" collapses the moment you realize it's a grift wherein narcissists invent alternate realities where the world appears to conform to their personal preferences.

QED

[IFA @IndieFictionAll]

If indie films can conquer the box office in 2026, what's stopping indie fiction from invading corporate bookstores?

[Steve Stark @starkterror88]

Trevor Payne is a drug-dealing thug, a bully, an abuser, a sadist, a psychopath.

But what’s coming for him and his crew is something much worse…

My Barnes & Noble Book was a huge success!

A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who made it out to support my creative journey! And to those that couldn't (because many reached out with consideration wishing they could), life happens! I get it, and it's all good! I'm blessed to have so many of you in my corner!

The afternoon started out great with both A Dangerous Man and Where the Children Don't Play stacked up and ready to go! (Pic 1)

And ended with WtCDP being the MVB of the day selling out the 10 copies B&N provided!

A Dangerous Man was given a generous 15 book purchase by B&N, selling 5, which means there are 10 SIGNED copies in the Olympia, WA store for discovery! (Pic 2)

I was told Where the Children Don't Play will be replenished!

You'll notice in the video I'm signing a rare document. An original print of my next release, THE DOCK, beta read by my homie, Dan! This one is going to knock ya'll on your asses when I introduce you to Otis. A few people are already in the know, and I'm incredibly excited to finally get this work out into the wild!

Again, thank you to all for the support! B&N has invited me back whenever I'm ready, so there will be more to come!

“Dr Monique Ryan”

Just threw every biological Australian woman under the bus

She’s an absolute disgrace

These people have no place anywhere near positions of power

I can’t wait for the day these physcopaths are gone from Australian politics forever
