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!

Hi Graham! Thank you for the add :) I look forward to reading your book. Soon, I hope. Gomez seems like an interesting guy to get to know ;)
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. :)
