Book synopsis

Wotcha? a contraction of the 15th century English greeting ?what chere be with you?? Watcher n a person who watches or observes somebody orsomething. A voyeur. Say WOTCHA! to Bart Raines, who?s condemnedforever to be a watcher after a childhood prank left his eyelid gluedto his beloved telescope. Stuck with one eye that can?t not see, he?sturned voyeurism into a lucrative blackmail industry. Say WOTCHA! toformer rock star, avid coke fiend, Richard ?Winston? Smith who?swatched by millions among them erstwhile school friend Bart, who?sorchestrating revenge for Winston?s teenage betrayal through thesinister global surveillance network he calls the Daisy Chain. SayWOTCHA! to high class whore Daisy Chains (neé Raines) and her teenageson Joe, who?s abducted along with his girlfriend by a sinister?Christian? cult, which leaves the kids to die, hogtied and helplessin a derelict drainage tunnel slowly filling with sewage. Watched bythe world?s media, Winston, Daisy and Bart reunite to use fame and the Daisy Chain to save two teenage lives and their own souls from thefilth that?s about to drown them. Wotcha! is a comic spit in the eyeof born again zealots with a wink and a twinkle to the rest of us butit?s also deadly serious. Mining a rich seam of coalblack humour andsex, drugs and rock and roll, it starts on a bittersweet nostalgiatrip and builds up to the pace of a thriller. CONTROVERSIAL STUFF? Its themes and explicit language make this a candidate for one of those?parental advisory? stickers they put on CDs these days. Does thatmake WOTCHA! a book that people aged under sixteen shouldn?t read? Inthe author?s opinion absolutely not. ?If rude words and references tosex, drugs and rock and roll upset you per se, this book?s not foryou. But if you believe, as I do, that a sense of humour is whatseparates ?naughty? from ?evil?, I think you might enjoy this story,laugh at the funny bits, think about the serious bits and read theredemption between the lines.?
