short stories!

Dogmatic:

Featuring
Dusty Rhodes, the K9 Kid & the Doberman Who Didn’t Like Doughnuts

by
Gerry Burke

Genre:
Humorous Short Stories

Every
morning I take my constitutional along the beach path in the suburb
where I live. The early risers are already there with their dogs,
every conceivable breed.

All
of the canines have a story to tell, so I thought I might like to
speak out on their behalf. You will be surprised with the extent and
nature of their adventures. In fact, these humorous dog tales are
unbelievable.

We
already laud our heroes in the form of Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and
Snoopy. I hope these captivating stories will now shine a light on
the likes of Baloo, Atticus, and William, the Wet Nose Wonder. In the
meantime, give your dog a bone.

Citizen
Vain:

Stories
From Down Under and All Over

by
Gerry Burke

Genre:
Humorous Short Stories

Stories
from Down Under and all over! Humility is not a common virtue among
the rich and famous. The protagonists in these narratives come from
all parts of the globe, and have experienced the dizzy heights of
fame and fortune. These are people who have let vanity overcome
wisdom. Tall poppies need to be cut down to size, and plotting their
downfall has been my pleasure.

“The
Bonfire of the Vanities was hot. These yarns are hotter.” Lucifer
Beelzebub

My
Book of Revelations:

Stories
that Burst the Bubble of Believability

by
Gerry Burke

Genre:
Humorous Short Stories

History,
heroes, horror, and Hollywood! Every story with a sting in the tail.
Lady Godiva; The Charge of the Light Brigade; The Borgias; and Tales
from the Old West: stories that never happened, but should have. Plus
the heroes of today; crime-fighters, patriots, and protagonists of
purpose. No wonder the villains never win. Of course, you can’t
blame them for trying.

Laugh,
smile, snigger, snicker, snort and giggle! The author’s revelations
will be hard to believe, and harder to forget. There’s always a
bubble to burst.

Gerry
Burke received a Jesuit-inspired education at Xavier College in
Melbourne, Australia, where he still lives. Before commencing his
long career in advertising, the author was employed by an
international mining company, which included a three-year stint in
New Guinea. He also dabbled in the horse-racing industry, as an owner
and breeder, with some success. Being a former accountant and
advertising creative, no one expected Gerry to become a published
author, but he embraced this initiative to stave off dementia.

He
has since penned six novels, seven volumes of short stories, and two
offerings of commentary and opinion relating to politics,
entertainment, sport and travel. The PEST pseudonym was subjected to
a sea change with the introduction of popular discount detective
Paddy Pest to booklovers everywhere.

Most
people see the garrulous gumshoe from Down Under as a cross between
James Bond and Maxwell Smart, and he has been the protagonist in a
number of the author’s humour-laden publications. In recent times,
there have been diversions into Science Fiction and absolute fiction,
all of which have won enthusiastic acclaim.

Mr.
Burke’s credentials have been well established, with twelve of his
books featuring as a winner or finalist in a variety of international
literary competitions. Three volumes have received multiple
citations.

Gerry
is single and lives with photographs of his best racehorses.
