About Scam A-Lama Hardball: A Funny Noir Rock Star Ripoff (A Funny Scam Book 2)
Jump into the sleazy side of Show Business and laugh out loud at the crazy plot twists in the fast-paced dark comedy crime novel.
All Rock Star Marc Charles has to do to reboot his career is to sign a big, new album contract. But there’s a catch …isn’t there always? He has to record a really shitty song as part of the deal.
Marc and his kid Jasper manage to rejig it into what eventually sounds like a hit. But then the crap hits the blender. First it’s the Taxman. Then a half-witted secret agent from ICAC, the corruption watchdog. Plus problems with Marc’s’s hunky-junkie producer, a crass Shock Jock, groupies, wannabes, some nice and nasty Bosnians, high stakes on the internet, and Marc’s usual bedroom antics. He’s fallen head-over-hocks for Sam, the PR Princess. The album almost gets canned, but finally, against all odds, he finishes it. This is Marc’s last shot at hitting it big again, winning Sam’s heart and making it home to Rock Valhalla. What could possibly go wrong?

Author Bio:
I was born in England and came Down Under with my parents in the Seventies. I currently
live in wine country in regional Australia with my wife and two dogs. Before that I lived in Sydney when I was working in advertising and writing comedy for TV.
I used to collect guitars. Now I collect wine.
If you asked me why I write dark comedy the only answer I could give you is that it’s just the way I see life, I guess. People in ShowBiz tend to look back on the close calls they’ve been in, and see the funny side of it, especially years afterwards when they’re a bit pissed with their mates. Some anecdotes I’ve been told would make your hair stand on end, and yet they’re screamingly funny.
I love it when readers get in touch with me. jinx@jinxjamesbooks.com
