About this author
Graham Parke is responsible for a number of technical publications and has recently patented a self-folding map. He has been described as both a humanitarian and a pathological liar. Convincing evidence to support either allegation has yet to be produced.
The award winning "No Hope for Gomez!" is his fiction debut.
Would anybody support my Kickstarter campaign to raise money to create a BieberFilter for internet browsers?
Just imagine, where ever you perform a search, on google, youtube, your backyard, where-ever, the filter automatically removes all results featuring Justin Bieber.

updated Mar 27, 2010 08:30am
Description:
Gomez Porter is many things; a reluctant antiques dealer, an experimental drug trail participant, a stalker-stalker (someone who stalks other stalkers), but now he has become a fugitive as well.
Exactly who is after him, he isn't sure. He decides to help the police infiltrate the drug trail, as many of its participants are going missing. But when the chief investigator himself disappears, Gomez decides it's best to strike out on his own. Hounded by a meddling neighbor, a phone-sex salesman (someone who… no idea), and a crazed stalker, he tries to stay alive long enough to discover the truth behind the mysterious events in his life.
Oh yeah, and there's also a nurse with big boobs!

Smart, funny and surprisingly moving. This brilliant collection of short stories had me hooked from start to finish. My favorite were " Unspent Time " and " Don’t Look Over the Edge of the World"

Thanks for the friend invite! I do intend to locate a copy of "No Hope for Gomez" to read. Sounds funny and twisted, which just happens to be my favorite combo, in books and sometimes life!
The synopsis of the book makes it sound like great fun, which is surprising since it would normally be describing a plot for a gorefest type book. I would love to be able to read it and review to see if it lives up to the feel of the description on Good Reads
Thanks, man! My interest is about books that are not so common here in Brazil. Here we have just best-sellers and classics, although, a lot of wonderful national authors. :]

Your book sounds really interesting, just the right amount of weirdness. Too bad I didn't win it though. Where are you from?
Hi Graham, thanks for the friendvite. Nice to meet you. My profile pic was taken last March on Phi Phi Islands (location of Leonardo Di Caprio's "The Beach"). Really beautiful!! It was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004, but is being restored right now. Arzu
Hey Graham, thanks for the friend invite. I've been to the Netherlands once and I loved it. I wish I could go back, but there are still many new places to visit around the world. :)
