Melbourne born
author Geoff McGeachin has spent much of his life shooting pictures for
advertising, travel, theatre and feature films. His work has taken him all over
the world including stints living in Los Angeles, New York and Hong Kong. He is
now based in Sydney where he teaches photography and writes.
His first
novel, FAT, FIFTY & F***ED! won the inaugural Australian Popular Fiction
Competition and was published by Penguin in August 2004. Described by the
Sunday Tasmanian as "one of the most exhilarating debut novels in many
moons...wildly imaginative, irreverent, bitingly funny, beautifully paced and
populated by the sort of characters we'd all love to know", it continues
to entertain and amuse Australian and international readers.

D-E-D Dead! : In D-E-D Dead!, Geoffrey McGeachin's riotous new adventure thriller, Alby Murdoch - international photographer and Australian special agent - ducks bullets and bombs from Bondi to Bali and back as he attempts to unravel a lethal web of high-level dodgy dealings...
From the moment Alby drops his gun on a St Kilda tram he knows he's in for a bad day. Then his partner Harry is gunned down in a Double Bay coffee shop. By lunchtime Alby realises someone wants him dead - and they want him dead now.
All Alby wants is some pasta, a good bottle of wine and to know more about the mysterious Grace Goodluck...long dark hair, legs up to there, and piercing slate-grey eyes...sniper's eyes. But he also has to figure out who shot Harry and who wants him dead. And why.
Unfortunately for Alby, the answer lies over the razor wire and past the anti-personnel mines protecting Bitter Springs, a top-secret US military facility deep in the central Australian desert. Now that can really ruin your day... |
