Lou Powers
|
Ex soldier, sports coach, former IT professional, previously unemployed bum and one-time pizza delivery driver who once fell agonizingly short of the one-night delivery record at the shop that served as inspiration for one of the settings in this book, Lou Powers weaves aspects of his entire life into his stories, often drawing on real-life experiences for inspiration.
In full understanding that his works are as likely to win a literary award as he is of being appointed the Archbishop of Canterbury, he instead hopes simply that you get enjoyment out of his stories and read them through the same ridiculous lens with which they were written.

Discreet Rear Entrance - Volume I
|
Crime/Dark Humour
A bottom-feeding former underwear thief, Jimmy Eyebrow stumbles into the hit business entirely by accident and sets in motion events that will ultimately lead to a full-blown war between rival local and international crime syndicates. Eyebrow’s highly risk-averse handler Joe Purple gets reluctantly dragged into the circus and as the situation spirals out of control, Eyebrow remains blissfully unaware that significant forces are massing to take him down. But is it only external dangers, or should Eyebrow be keeping an eye open closer to home? Whether following along with Eyebrow on his first hit in the men’s room of an adult theatre, or unpacking exactly why a motorcycle-riding midget, an angry Comanche Indian, and a duffel bag of cash have all ended up at a desolate roadside motel, this story has it all.

Discreet Rear Entrance - Volume II
|
Crime/Dark Humour
After the events of Volume I, Jimmy Eyebrow is dispatched out of town on a critical mission that will test old friendships to the limit. With the action heating up, former alliances are fractured, and new ones are formed as the lines that have been drawing everyone to the desert begin to converge. With a cavalcade of exotic locations such as motels, truck stop casinos and suspect nightclubs, Jimmy Eyebrow spreads his unique brand of chaos across a whole new battlefield. This book isn’t afraid to tackle the big questions - Is eating sushi from a motel vending machine a good idea? Is it acceptable to drive around Downtown wearing blackface? How long is it possible to date someone without knowing they have Down Syndrome? These are the critical questions that are explored as Jimmy Eyebrow navigates his way through the carnage unfolding around him. One thing is certain though – even when taking into account its bombastic and lawless past, Sin City is not going to be prepared for what is about to be unleashed on its streets.
