Thanks to my colleagues at Yarraville writers’ group for their patience and enthusiasm displayed toward their own writing. It’s an absolute pleasure to learn from you all. For anyone who wants to write, I encourage you to join your local writing group. You may be surprised by what you learn.
Thanks also to the friendly Williamstown locals who give me so much pleasure, who bought my first book, some even reading it! I appreciate the positivity you provide, and I especially want to acknowledge Paul Tyrrell and his wife Denise for their support, spreading the word about the first episode of the Democracy trilogy, Deceit.
I would also like to thank the many readers and fans of the first episode that have contacted me with their positive feedback and I hope this next installment answers your questions.
Thanks also to my extended family, especially the matriarchs Margaret Ann and Lynne – I appreciate you all for your support. Finally, I thank my wife Julia, and my children Anthony, Kaitlyn and Taylor for providing my life with so much wonder.
DOOMED
The concluding episode of the Democracy Trilogy
Three years after the change of government, the nation is facing huge social, policy, and environmental-related disasters yet the Australian government seems paralysed on how to proceed. Two senior ministers resolve that a change of prime minister is essential for Australia’s future, and begin to lay the foundations for his dismissal.
Meanwhile, the parliament is held in a balance of power by the independent, Jaya Rukhmani, who can decide at any time if government legislation will be approved. Upon hearing the news that former prime minister Andrew Gerrard wishes to reenter parliament, Jaya turns to Barton Messenger as an ally.
Doomed takes us behind the scenes of a parliament unaware of how their ambitions and political manipulations affect the everyday Australian. When the environment and economy are brought into the mix, which will be the one to flourish, and which one is doomed?
