Maniacs Of Con City

The sixth entry in the Con City series has, like a punctual train service, finally arrived!

A malfunctioning AI goes on a murderous rampage in the city of Brickton and turns the life of a young woman upside down. Can she reign in the artificial maniac, or will the AI force her to paint the town red with blood?
A young woman who survived the disaster that recently befell Con City and now lives in Brickton, the city of riots, discovers that an artificial intelligence resides on an implant in her head. As she tries to solve the mystery of when and how the AI was implanted in her brain, the local mayoral elections bring the inner animal out of Brickton's population, and a scientist sends heavily armed mercenaries to reclaim the malfunctioning AI amid the riots. The ensuing violence prompts the AI to react with the subtlety of a homicidal maniac. Bodies begin to pile high in the streets as the AI's unwilling host tries to take back her life from the digital psychopath. The only people she can rely on for help are the local train enthusiast vigilante who beats up fare-dodgers with a baseball bat, and the police officer who hasn't managed to arrest the baseball bat wielding maniac in seven years.

Maniacs Of Con City chronicles the last few days of the most violent mayoral election season in the history of Brickton in Con County, the most dangerous region in the Republic of North America. In the middle of the chaos that every mayoral election in Brickton traditionally turns into, a young woman must fight against all odds to reclaim her life from a mass murdering AI who, despite the carnage in its wake, may not even be the biggest maniac in town. Recommended for fans of the Con City series, readers who enjoy their crime fiction as absurd and filled with as much mayhem as possible, and anyone who really, really likes good old fashioned vigilante justice.





Maniacs Of Con City will be published on 31 October 2020 in Kindle ebook and paperback formats. You can pre-order the Kindle edition here.

Monkey Of Con City

The fifth entry in the Con City series has, like a golden eagle, landed!

A scientist tries to train a monkey to write Hamlet 2, exactly the way Shakespeare would have done. Will he succeed, or will his project be ruined by film producers, gun toting maniacs, and birds?

 

Professor van der Bishop, the most successful scientist at the University of Con City, has a theory that a monkey can be trained to write sequels to the plays of Shakespeare, exactly the way Shakespeare himself would have done, had he lived long enough. The Professor travels to England, where he teams up with a young English couple to acquire funding for his research from film producer Terrence Blunt, creator of the commercially successful but critically reviled Round Table movie franchise. When the Professor comes face to face with the cutthroat nature of the film industry, he must use every trick up his sleeve to secure his research funding. Even if that involves working for a film critic who may or may not be a psychopathic professional hitman.

Monkey Of Con City chronicles the absurd misadventures of a misunderstood genius from Con City, the most dangerous city in the Republic of North America, during his visit to the picturesque town of Hawthorneford, Con City's English sister town, where he tries to scientifically produce the manuscripts of Hamlet 2, Macbeth 2, and even Romeo and Juliet 2. His quest is hindered at every turn by the likes of a cinema cult and their megalomaniacal leader, local hooligans, one hundred and sixty-eight cats, an unhinged method actor, gun toting madmen, a chronic lack of monkeys, a very angry post office manager, and the most dangerous animals in the world: birds! Recommended for fans of the Con City series, readers who enjoy their crime fiction as absurd and filled with as much mayhem as possible, and anyone who believes that the Earth is not a giant watermelon.


Monkey Of Con City will be published on 31 October 2019 in Kindle ebook and paperback formats. You can pre-order the Kindle edition here.
