I decided it was about time to write a political novel, now don't worry; this is from a neutral perspective. WHAT ABOUT MADELYN? is a black comedy set up on all levels ' and I hope I've not shown ant bias. Anyway, after reaching my 70's it's so hard not to remain cynical. I have chosen to paths for my pair of heroines, and why not! If these women decide to hate each other from first sight ... then ... I would expect their political preferences would follow suit. Reader: get ready to meet Madelyn Johnson and Betsey Drake. The time and place ... Newcastle NSW Australia and in the 1980's. As with all my novels, I had no idea what would happen on the next paragraph, and that way ... these girls kept on surprising me with their antics.
