SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG: A Funny Noir Rock Star Rip-Off by Jinx James

SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG: A Funny Noir Rock Star Rip-Off by Jinx James

Slide into the sleazy side of Show Biz, the dodgy side, in this fast paced Noir mash up of Dark Comedy, Crime and Classic Rock. When you’ve been a Rock Star as long as Marc Charles, you’ve seen a few Scams in your time, but never one quite like this. Cory, the dude from California isn’t just after Marc’s rock star mansion. He wants the lot, and with his corporation’s scumbag shakedown scheme he aims to get it.
To Marc it smacks of an old-time SCAM A-LAMA DING DONG rip-off. “Us Rock ’n Rollers have been getting scammed and ripped off ever since they invented shiny suits and electric guitars,” Marc tells his pal Howie.
But Rock Stars don’t like being messed with, especially when their career is at stake and time is running out. Marc fights back, and boy, can he play dirty too! With the brains of his sidekick moneyman Howie, and Marc’s own charisma and front, he sets out to turn the tables on the “Pay-to-Play” scammers. Marc’s tough-as-nails Agent, the ever-horny Felicity, is right in the line of fire, and there’s a new girl too, Samira, aka Sam. But she’s from a different age. This alluring heartbreaker isn’t taking any of that Rock Dinosaur crap Marc tries to lay on her.
As he battles Cory, Marc keeps up the hi-jinks like any red-blooded rock star: Sex in a cupboard, duets with a Cowboy movie-star, a déjà vu jig-a-jig with his knife-throwing ex-wife – it’s all here, along with a Classic Rock and Soul soundtrack. That and some kinky KO’s from Morgana, a crazy Bad-Girl TV star, a little hot guitar, plus an absolute nutcracker of a plot twist at the end.

Seen and Sometimes Heard: Observations 2018-2020 by Martha Burnett

Seen and Sometimes Heard: Observations 2018-2020 by Martha Burnett

Seen and Sometimes Heard: Observations 2018-2020 is an homage to the lost art of randomly listening in on other people’s conversations. The book references cartoonist Stan Mack’s comic strip that ran from 1975 to 1995 in the free paper the Village Voice: “Real Life Funnies. All Conversations Guaranteed Overheard 100% Verbatim”. Problem is, random listening today isn’t what it used to be. I tried. I spent a fair bit of time riding buses and subways, wandering around, sitting in coffee shops, hanging out. But social spaces in the 21st Century simply cannot compare to those of the late 20th Century. Then the Pandemic of 2020 hit. Subsequently, what began as a series of illustrated observations of the world around me in 2018 and 2019 ends with personal comments on life lived during Covid-19.
