In another incarnation I write short stories. Nice little animal stories with innocent happy-endings. ‘Hard Money-Naked Truth’ is a major departure from my well-worn and familiar genre. Growing up in the quintessential middle class Australian family without the trials and tribulations of many writers, I have no issue to examine or translate into my work.

Having been privately educated and marrying at a young age, I have lived a somewhat protected and insular life. Conversations with a friend who has been living a diametrically opposite lifestyle stirred my imagination.

Thus began a curiosity with all dysfunctional behaviours - fortunately our society abounds with dysfunction! Therefore, it was only a matter of paying attention, and keeping a

message 3: by Billy

Billy Masters Hi! Thx for the message. I'm also following on Twitter


Verity Louise Marshall Hi Warren,

This story is about Australian prostitutes working in a legal brothel in Sydney. These 'ladies' are not the victims, that the unfortunate Asian sex workers appear to be.

“HARD MONEY - The naked truth behind the red light”, is a 'fly-on-the-wall' peek at the behind-the-scene activities of authentic Sydney prostitutes and their clients - all employed/patronising the brothel described at the time of research.

The book is a collection of graphically written short stories (with humorous undertones), facts, observations, and anecdotes.

The information gleaned from the sex workers and their clients via interviews and simple surveys, has been interwoven with fiction - the real and fake names have been changed to protect 'the-not-so-innocent' - and crafted into the scandalous stories.

Thanks for your interest Warren, I hope you check it out, as I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy the read.

Best wishes,

Verity


Warren Reiten Verity, interesting...I used to be a Military Police Officer in the U. S. Army (Asia)seen many a "red-light" district. Is that what your writing about? WRR
