Lara Leatherstone - not her real name, she got it from an internet Porn Star Name Generator... ...And Connor Reeves, also not his real name, as it turns out - how he came by his, is less clear... Both are obliged to work their way through the To Do List of 'Hollywood Hit-Men' - a breed mostly preoccupied with gold chains, impressing barmaids, and shady contracts - erasing these unwanted pests with the minimum of paperwork. Or pay. When she's not under surveillance by head office, Lara spends her time juggling a night job in bar security, an only child with a zombie fixation, and what passes...

Write a decent book, Tweet a few times, accept any spontaneous reviews graciously, and keep all of your friends... This isn't a 'How to sell a million copies' or 'How to be a New York Times bestseller' guru session. This is not for seasoned 'Authorpreneurs' looking for new promotion and sales tactics. It is NOT a tried-and-tested formula for writing a blockbuster novel. And it will not tell you how to become a billionaire through exploiting your hidden USP (Unique Selling Point). Neither is it a Zen lifestyle guide, telling you that it is simply a case of convincing the world (and yourself)...

It's been a while since the last Firearms Amnesty, meaning the collection scavenged...
