D A Delacy

Set against the back-drop of the Napoleonic Wars, 'The Reprise Series' is a wickedly amusing 'romp' of a tale.

D A Delacy (pen name of Deborah Lysaght)lives in Ireland with her husband, son, mother and a cat, where she attempts and fails miserably to run an efficient home. A passionate cook, she'd rather cook and garden than dust ... She ascribes to Quentin Crisp's theory that after four years, the dust doesn't get any worse ...

This is a fugitive story based on a hapless musician, framed for a killing and theft. Escaping with the exhilarating aid of the amorous prison librarian, our fugitive survives a trek across the moors to hide in a small Cumbrian town. But he works hard to uncover the plot against him - taking him to Amsterdam where his troubles increase. This is a mystery, a who-dun-it, a thriller and all written with ironic humour.

In order to overcome the traumas in his present-day life, a priest must find out what happened to his ancestors sixty years ago in wartime. But finding out proves to be more horrifying than not knowing.

In an age of plummeting morals and urban chaos verging on civil war, businessman Edmond Lorz makes a precarious living by removing obscene graffiti from subway advertising posters.

It's during a recruitment aptitude test for extra porn-purging staff that a terrorist bomb rips through Ideal Poster's grubby headquarters, leaving Lorz and one candidate; the seventh, fighting for life in hospital.

Lorz recovers completely, but the strikingly handsome young jobseeker wakens from his coma a blank-faced, unspeaking automaton with total amnesia and a blind obsession with his new employer's clean-up campaign.

Adopted by Lorz and his wildly unpredictable secretary, Dorothea, each driven by pity, love and stark fear, the mysterious Seventh Candidate wages a private and manic war on disorder in a subterranean maze of tunnels beneath a city gone mad.

"Blood and Wine Are Red has nothing to do with doom and gloom. Quite the contrary, this side-splitting collection of 40 short stories is guaranteed to have you rolling in the aisles whilst simultaneously reaching for the Kleenex in order to mop up floods of mirthful tears!"

Born in London, England, in 1949, Andrea has been living and working in The Netherlands for the last 30 years. Despite a lamentable lack of education, she amuses herself by writing short stories and articles, many of which, to her amazement, have been published around the world. Her unconventional and quirky outlook on life is reflected in her writing. She takes great delight in, and has no qualms about poking fun at the absurdity of human nature. Despite failing dismally in the marriage department, she has nevertheless managed to produce two marvellous sons, of whom she is inordinately proud.

It's the true, funny/sad tale of an Australian couple arriving in Fodderton, New Brunswick, for a two-year teaching stint during which anything that can go wrong does. However, it contains six lies, and if you can spot them and tell me by the end of 2007, YOUR NAME will appear as one of the characters in the book's sequel, 'Death in Venice II'. Two are easy, leaving four events that couldn't possibly have happened to me/Stephen, (but maybe just did).
