Suburban Insurgent

A Veteran’s Crime Odyssey

The only way to succeed in Melbourne’s globalised criminal world is to cripple bodies, end lives, and build alliances, only to destroy them.

That’s a lesson veteran Jason Farrelly is about to learn first-hand.

Disillusioned, disconnected and in need of a violent action fix due to his operational experience, Farrelly uses his military skills and street smarts to obtain illegal positions of power and accumulate great wealth.

A Chinese gang, Aryan militants, and notorious narco kings all feel the full effect of contracting and brutally falling out with Jason Farrelly, the suburban insurgent.

Cry Sorrowful for Bullocky

A novel of the first Australian cricket team to tour overseas

Andrew R. Cunningham had a passion for cricket and he has taken historical events and characters and re-imagined them. He has produced a fascinating novel concentrating on certain aspects of the lives of individual players prior to and after the First Cricket Tour of England in 1868.

He has used his power of language to create and define characters in such a way that the reader will be entertained, whilst being introduced to perhaps unknown aspects of events in early days of colonial Australia, that were indeed real, and impacted on this story of the first Australian International team.

His evocative and clever writing describes aspects often forgotten or not previously represented by this story. He uses compassion and humour as he gently provokes the reader to think seriously about the past injustices practised by society at the time. His writing also celebrates the prowess, skills and sporting successes of the Aboriginal cricketers. His empathy is encapsulated in the title, ‘Cry sorrowful for Bullocky.’

Bandit or Priest

The mean streets of St Kilda, Victoria. The 1980s. Vice rules.

Moving to Melbourne after a youth of small-time crime, James quickly finds himself heading up his own criminal operation: the Locust Gang. Scourge of the city, the gang executes a series of robberies that bring them notoriety – and unwelcome attention from the bent cops, callous drug dealers and violent pimps who control the city’s vice.

But James soon finds a higher calling: he wants to rid the city of the vile heroin trade that has decimated a generation of kids and taken the lives of people close to him.

As he careers through the criminal underworld, meeting its villains and its victims, James will stop at nothing when it comes to delivering vengeance.

With a vivid cast of characters, Bandit or Priest pulls no punches as it uncovers the brutal, treacherous and seedy world of corruption, violence and organised crime in a city that is constantly on the verge of boiling over. Inspired by true events, it is an unputdownable story – and not for the faint-hearted.
