Imagine this: You've been let out of your cage, given the keys to an exciting city and free rein in a land far from home. You're twenty seven, not bad looking, in a band playing gigs all over town; the climate is roasting, the girls even hotter. You work for a gangster, his middle aged Wife is after you and so is her multimillion dollar heiress friend. You're paid in cash, you don't pay taxes; you don't pay for much at all. You drink, you party, you indulge yourself in a lackadaisical drug fuelled love spree ... You'd have some tales to tell, right?
It's 1988; Tom Reynolds and Seamus Montgomery experience a turbulent extravaganza in and around this desert town; embroiled with mobsters, drugs, Reggae music, Champagne and armfuls of young ladies. They flout the law, get shot at, steal, blow things up and charm the pants off the locals. We see the depths of their depravity, the enormity of their fun and their souls bared. The girls, the Mother figures, their tyrannical boss, their bandmates, and the total lunatics they encounter along the way; in a hot and spicy, satirical, melodrama crammed with hilarity and pathos that will beg the question why did you never do this yourself?

Anthony Randall started his writing career at the tender age of seventeen, primarily as a song writer penning hundreds tunes and recording with many bands, a hobby that he still enjoys. Not being an avid reader in his youth, he hadn't seriously read any novels at all until he was introduced to Robert A. Heinlein's 'Time enough for love' by a friend when he was thirty-years-old. From then on he hasn't stopped reading, sometimes having three books on the go at one time. As he says "I am definitely a late bloomer."
He was tempted into book writing by his co-author Doug Goddard back in 2002, Doug is Dyslexic and originally asked Anthony to first decipher his scrawl, and then to correct his spelling in order to turn his story into a book. As a by then avid book reader he realized instantly the lack of content in Doug's writing and proposed that they write together, Doug's stories, Anthony's words. He believes the synergy works well, the analogy that he has given it is of Doug giving him a pencil sketch and him turning it into an oil painting.
They have published to date two novels in the English Sombrero series, 'Nothing to do but run' and 'The Little White Ball', both are available in e-book and paperback format, book three 'Choice' is under construction, as is a new title, a thriller called 'The Tip of the Teaspoon'. Doug has a book in his own right in circulation 'What goes around, comes around' and Anthony is working on a novel called 'Tales of Tucson'.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Tucson. Late 1980s.Two musicians. One band. A lifetime supply of bad fucking ideas.Tales of Tucson is a loud, obscene, darkly funny coming-of-age novel about two musicians who form a band, play the local bars, drink too much, chase sex, flirt with crime, and repeatedly prove they have no business being left unsupervised.Set in the scorched, beer-soaked chaos of Tucson, Arizona, the book follows two friends as they stumble through gigs, rehearsals, hangovers, busted relationships, and schemes that always sound smarter the night before.They want music.They want women.They want freedom.What they get is trouble.Between dive bars, bedrooms, back rooms, and moments they absolutely should've walked away from, the Herberts learn the hard way that youth is just another word for thinking consequences are for other people.This book is about:Playing in bands that may or may not suckSex, ego, and spectacularly bad judgmentBars, bedrooms, and petty criminal detoursFriendship under pressureAnd the fine line between fun and 'what the hell were we thinking 'Written with sharp humor, zero restraint, and a refusal to clean things up for polite company, Tales of Tucson captures the reckless joy of being young, broke, horny, and convinced you're invincible.This is not a wholesome nostalgia trip.It's explicit. It's messy. It's funny as hell.And it tells the truth.Perfect for readers who like their fiction irreverent, music-soaked, and unafraid to cross lines.Fans of Charles Bukowski, John Fante, early Tom Robbins, and stories about bands, booze, and bad decisions will feel right at home.If you ever played in a band, pushed your luck, or look back on your younger self and think, Jesus Christ, how did I survive that - this book is for you.Content Warning (or Promise):This book contains explicit language, sex, substance abuse, reckless behavior, bad decisions, questionable morals, and occasional criminal detours.If you prefer your fiction polite, wholesome, or well-behaved, this is your exit ramp.
