They Win. You Lose.: Sex, Violence & Songs from the Shows

by Stan Arnold

Overview

‘They Win. You Lose. Sex, Violence & Songs from the Shows’ by Stan Arnold is the first of eight very funny thrillers - The Implosion Saga - and it’s FREE!

Mick and Jim are two incompetent, Soho-based, corporate video producers, operating at the bottom of a barrel that no one wants to scrape. They drink too much, don’t earn enough and get too many death threats.

So when gangsters demand back rent of £6,000 plus VAT, they have ten minutes to do a runner. All they have is an old Morris Traveller and a tank full of petrol.

The chase involves frantic attempts to preserve their lives and reproductive organs. They battle inefficiently scheduled sex with Southsea’s most colour-blind landlady, violent amateur dramatics, AK-47-weilding milliners, 80-year-old punk grannies and hit men dressed in pink Mexican outfits.

Under constant threat, they take a mystery job in Las Vegas, where they are pursued by six Reservoir Dogs lookalikes. They make a sort of escape using the world’s most mercenary cab driver.

During the next 24 hours, Mick and Jim chicken out a freight train, walk six moonlit miles across the desert with cactus-punctured groins, find out what badly manufactured LSD can do to you, avoid Thelma and Louise suicide-a-likes, possibly have sex with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, make a commitment in front of a Bourbon-fuelled Elvis at Big Derek’s Gay Marriage Emporium and blow up a Harley Davidson. The final showdown takes place with the gangster boss in the world’s most unspeakably lurid theatrical environment. A very neat twist propels them from sudden death into a totally different way of life.

Or does it?

About the Author

I've been a copy, speech and scriptwriter for a long time!

Before that, I wrote songs and stories for the BBC, then became a stand-up comedian for eight years, writing my own stories (no jokes!). I also wrote and sang all the songs for my rock band - the Stan Arnold Combo.

I now live in and work from Lanzarote, with my wife Dee and cats, Bonzo, Jingle and Kati.

In my eleven years on the island, I have written eight funny novels - The Implosion Saga, no less!

The stories are about two incompetent Soho-based corporate video producers opperating at the bottom of a barrel no one wants to scrape. They drink too much, don't earn enough and get too many death threats.

I suppose the next thing to do is promote these little offerings so I can archive my life's ambition - to own a garden shed on Mustique.

(All very well, I hear you say, but have you seen the price of creosote on the island?)
