FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fake Gods – Fiction that Illuminates™ from fever to shade Eleanor and that actor Simon Boone push past a shadowy Americana! A former fiction instructor with the acclaimed Long Ridge Writing Group with 18 years of marketing communications experience earning a Silver Addy Award, a Bronze Excalibur Award and cable television awards, Mark Broderick's first mainstream fiction novel, Baccarat: Nine Lives South of Boona, was published by Creative Arts Books Company in 2002, earning critical praise from Publisher's Weekly. Baccarat (now redirected as Never Get All Hooched) features a small town and its struggle with the recent Millennium Fever and its sparks that launched a Creator’s winning hand. No one is immune to the fever even if you are, or have been, an Illuminati. Never again will the goings on of the gods be musty ancient history. Sexual and celestial high jinks, missing humidors, dirty hands and dirty smiles, an underworld mail carrier, extortion, high stakes croquet . . . all offer the intrepid reader a feast for the mind . . . let the play begin! In November 2005, one of Canada's leading publishers – Coscom Entertainment – delighted mystery aficionados everywhere and published Simple Savages. Redirected now as Smack Savage, this murder mystery offers an intimate look behind the next big thing. This astonishing novel seduces the reader within the industry of infinite need where one can discover a romance so wonderful it can reveal a gift every day for life. In Simple Savages, a lonely patron named Olive disgraces her Wellness Club, while allowing the Reverend Argus, Kloot, sexy Jude and Mighty Andy Boone to shame fundraising until she discovers the true nature of giving from an unlikely alter ego. Pitting fundraisers against one another causes even the moderating character – the actor, Simon Boone – to stiffen as dark, reddish-flecked fluids slip from the low side of Olive’s mouth like long, greasy lipstick blemishes before Olive gasps, “Romance me for a hundred thousand dollars!” Nevertheless, some claim the big town of Boona means serendipity! In Broderick's third novel, Never Purposely Pry, a most ancient curse creates sinister suspense as an innocent Eleanor is handed sole control of the amusement park. Immediately, the shadowy world within thrusts her and Simon Boone into an untamed passion as ghastly as their turn after turn of helplessness. Lurking in the foothills are Miss Salome Lee, the Alchemist and the Carousel Man, as well as a pair of half-seen figures who seduce evil into a climax of horror. Fiction that Illuminates™ is an exhilarating revelation! In this final piece of the Fake Gods trilogy, both Eleanor and that actor Simon Boone fight their inner demons, and, despite an extra turn of terror help brighten life. * * * Raised in a small Wisconsin town then armed with a specialized Creative Writing degree from the University of Wisconsin, Mark Broderick is constantly adding to his life’s work: strategic communications that build emotional capital.
