Google Preview: How does a man pick up the pieces with only one arm?
A badly injured Terry Shepherd returns from Vietnam and is spat on by war protestors at the airport. Disabled and still reeling from his harrowing journey in Vietnam as a unit medic, Terry finds himself running afoul with the vicious North Richmond Sharpie gang.
With his restaurant job up in smoke and his best friend dead, Terry realises that he must kill or be killed – only to find out that someone’s already beaten him to it.; Paul Harvey is one of the most talented, diverse and accomplished illustrators in the country. Based in the inner-city suburb of Richmond with his wife and three kids, ‘Harv’ as he is known, has had work published in most newspapers and is a contributor to a diverse range of magazines including Golf Victoria for over 15 years. Paul is the author of Pup, his first novel.; * The novel’s core message is: When we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat.’ Pup explores the stupidity and ugliness of war and the lives it changes. It is a love letter to Australia and particularly inner suburban Melbourne in the 1970s as it matures and loses a little of its innocence.
* A provoking and in-depth read that explores what could make a good man a monster and what might help a monster regain his humanity.
Publicity:
* Targeted publicity with launches and speaking engagements especially around Father’s Day, Christmas, Remembrance Day and ANZAC day. Book-tied launch at the Builders’ Arms in Fitzroy in Melbourne as it’s featured in the novel.
